Our Take

RIDE's latest album "This Is Not A Safe Place" is a nostalgic journey back to the shoegaze heyday of the '90s, where dreamy guitars and introspective lyricism reigned supreme. The British quartet, known for their ethereal soundscapes and mesmerizing live performances, deliver another solid effort that will surely please die-hard fans and newcomers alike.

From the opening track "R.I.D.E." to the haunting closer "In This Room," the band showcases their trademark blend of swirling melodies and emotive vocals. Songs like "Future Love" and "Repetition" shimmer with a sense of longing and melancholy, while "Jump Jet" and "Fifteen Minutes" inject a dose of infectious energy into the mix.

Guitarist Andy Bell's lush, layered riffs and vocalist Mark Gardener's evocative croon are as captivating as ever, weaving together to create a sonic tapestry that is both familiar and fresh. The production, courtesy of Erol Alkan, is crisp and polished, allowing each instrument to shine through while still maintaining a sense of dreamy atmosphere.

Overall, "This Is Not A Safe Place" is a welcome addition to RIDE's discography, proving that they still have plenty of magic left in their musical arsenal. So, grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be transported to a world where shoegaze reigns supreme. This album is a safe place to get lost in.

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.
