HEAR: "Home Is A Feeling" -
Yesterday
British band Ride shared a new song called "Charm Assault," the first
new music that the group had released in 20 years. Today, they are back
to share another new track. "Home Is A Feeling" builds on the sudden
momentum that "Charm Assault" set in motion, as the band comes out of
their lengthy hiatus swinging. Side by side, the two tracks
demonstrate the diversity of the band's highly anticipated forthcoming
album, which is due this summer.
"Charm Assault" and "Home Is A Feeling" are both produced by legendary DJ, producer, and remixer Erol Alkan. "Charm Assault" sees
Ride in classic form as driving drums and chiming guitar lines underpin
Mark Gardener's unmistakable vocals on this urgent and vital opening
salvo from Ride's forthcoming album. On the creation of the new song Andy Bell says: ""Charm
Assault" is a pretty straightforward expression of frustration and
disgust at the people who currently run our country. The tour in 2015
was a good way of reminding us what we were good at in the first place
and "Charm Assault" feels like a natural continuation from our peak.
When we started writing together again we tried to imagine we'd kept on
making music all this time, and this was just the latest one."
Their
upcoming album, scheduled for release this summer via Wichita
Recordings, sees the band reunited with label co-founders Dick Green and
Mark Bowen, who they worked with during the band's early years on
Creation Records. It also brings the band back together with mixer Alan
Moulder (Arctic Monkeys, Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers) who mixed their
seminal 1990 album Nowhere and produced it's follow up Going Blank Again.
After a lengthy hiatus, Ride reformed in 2014. Comprising of Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Laurence Colbert, and Steve Queralt, the band sold
out headline tours around the world to a plethora of critical acclaim,
as well as show stopping turns at festivals including Coachella,
Primavera and Field Day. Today, the band are also announcing that they
will be playing the opening night of the BBC 6music Festival in Glasgow
on 24th March, in addition to three additional European performances.
