Having made a seriously impressive comeback with 2017's radiant 'Weather Diaries', their second reunion album pits melody-soaked, jangly dreampop against the crunch of more propulsive shoegaze heft.

The sparkling 'Future Love' features Ride’s lush, signature harmonies. They’ve always had a Byrds side to them & it plays out nicely here in a 'Twisterella' kind of way. Most of the album operates comfortably in this area, capitalising on their established strengths. However, 'Repetition' takes the band to a whole new level & brings them not only bang up to date but confidently propels them into the future too. It's a beatific, jerky & experimental pop song that feels like it holds the rest of the album together. Andy Bell clearly feels the same: "It was one of the very first songs written for the album, and has always felt to me like one of the best songs I've written. It has a great dual harmony vocal from myself and Mark". Existing fans will relish the familiar whilst there's also plenty of room for new fans to hitch a Ride. Fans of DIIV, Slowdive & Beach House should hop on board.
