Ride
Going Blank Again
Ignition Records
From the sounds of the cloistered, chaotic opener, 'Leave Them All Behind', it's clear that this is another ride classic.
there are Guitars as far as the ear can hear & they're just as dizzying as 'nowhere''s opener. But rather than sink into a thick underbelly of melancholy, this record offers sunshiney melodies & gleaming, bold production. In fact, some of the album could be loosely classified as power pop. Bouncy tunes like 'Twisterella', 'Not Fazed', 'Mouse Trap' & 'Time of Her Time' each share more than a thing or two in common with the likes of Teenage Fanclub, but with more layered vocals & less-cutting guitars. the band doesn't completely sacrifice their love of reverberating noise, but it's more done in the name of pop than to merely cause a blistering racket.
