Ride in London. July 2017. (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
The release of Pulsar last November showed Ride were not intent on basking in the glory of Weather Diaries, their first studio album in more than twenty years, for too long, and to prove the point the details of a brand new EP have now been unveiled.
Tomorrow’s Shore has had a release date of February 20th set, and is being previewed with a lead track entitled Catch You Dreaming which is described by Andy Bell as being written ‘from the perspective of being one of the last two people alive’.
Of Weather Diaries, Live4ever concluded that ‘Ride have proven they’re still lightning in a bottle’:
“An angry statement on chaotic times, this newly found skill for polemicising continues on Charm Assault, the lyrics a condemnation of Harridan politicians and their ethic-free circus, the music a churning pedal fest that bridges the gap between Tarantula’s trad-rock and the Smiths-inspired riffola of their vintage EPs.”
“For a collection of songs which begin in shimmering rebirth, Weather Diaries closes in the plaintive reflectiveness of White Sands, in substance little more than a few picked chords.”
