Ride - Nowhere | Album Review

Ride's debut album Nowhere sits at the crossroad of 1980s and 90s rock. Shoegaze was still an underground curiosity, and Rider were initially lumped in with Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, and Lush. But as much guitar noise and neo-psychedelia as the band dabbles in, there is an equal amount of 1960s jangle pop and Who-like bombast from the explosive rhythm section to help them stand out from the crowd. Sure, the production is stamped in 1980s reverb and chorus, but Ride were able to craft songs as well as noise to maximum effect.   Songs In This Episode: Intro - Seagull 17:03 - Kaleidoscope 24:43 - Dreams Burn Down 30:21 - Nowhere 40:09 - Vapour Trail Outro - In A Different Place   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
