Our Take

RIDE's "Carnival of Light" is a rollercoaster of an album, taking listeners on a psychedelic journey through shimmering guitars and dreamy melodies. The band, known for their shoegaze sound, have embraced a more experimental approach on this record, incorporating electronic elements and catchy hooks that will have you dancing in no time.

From the opening track "Moonlight Medicine," with its pulsating beat and hypnotic vocals, to the closing notes of "Burnin'," a soaring anthem that will have you reaching for the stars, "Carnival of Light" is a sonic adventure from start to finish. The production on this album is top-notch, with layers of sound that build and swell, creating a lush and immersive listening experience.

Tracks like "Chrome Waves" and "Birdman" showcase RIDE's ability to craft catchy pop tunes, while "Crown of Love" and "End Game" delve into darker, more introspective territory. Each song is a gem in its own right, but taken together, they form a cohesive and captivating whole.

Overall, "Carnival of Light" is a triumph for RIDE, demonstrating their evolution as a band while still staying true to their roots. It's a wild, exhilarating ride that will leave you wanting more. Strap in, hold on tight, and enjoy the journey.

About the artist

Ride

RIDE Resurrecting the spirit of 90s shoegaze with a modern twist, RIDE is the British quartet that's been enchanting audiences worldwide with their dreamy melodies and explosive live performances. Formed in Oxford in 1988, this band has stood the test of time and continued to evolve their sound over the years. With a musical style that effortlessly blends lush, atmospheric guitars with catchy pop hooks, RIDE has been dubbed as the heirs to My Bloody Valentine's throne. Their debut album, "Nowhere", released in 1990, solidified their place in the annals of indie rock history and remains a timeless classic to this day. After disbanding in 1996, RIDE made a triumphant return in 2014, reuniting for a series of sold-out shows and releasing their critically acclaimed album "Weather Diaries" in 2017. Their latest offering, "This Is Not a Safe Place", is a mesmerizing journey through shimmering sonic landscapes and introspective lyrics. Fronted by the enigmatic duo of Andy Bell and Mark Gardener, RIDE has mastered the art of crafting beautiful noise that resonates with listeners on a visceral level. Their electrifying stage presence and infectious energy make them a must-see act for fans of alternative rock. In a sea of bland imitators, RIDE stands out as a beacon of authenticity and innovation. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their music, one thing is certain - RIDE is a band that refuses to be pigeonholed and continues to push the boundaries of what shoegaze can be. So, buckle up and prepare for a sonic journey like no other with RIDE.
