RIDE - NOWHERE (180g LP)

Ride Nowhere on 180g Vinyl LP

One of the seminal records of the shoegazer movement, Ride's Nowhere (1990) typifies all of the best qualities of the movement's sound. Shimmering, psychedelic atmospheres, squalling guitars and distorted, hypnotic drones are well balanced by genuine pop songcraft here, all executed with a precision and mastery of a band at their absolute pinnacle.

"Seagull," the album's opener, pushed by the swirling twin guitar attack of Andy Bell and Mark Gardener, is simultaneously thunderous and radiant. Surging cuts like "Polar Bear" testify to Ride's skill at building dynamic tension and ringing sonic drama. Nowhere is Ride's finest moment, and as a definitive document of shoegazer bliss, it ranks right alongside My Bloody Valentine's classic Loveless.
