Ride Essentials

Ride Essentials

Ride might be considered one of the pillars of the shoegaze era alongside My Bloody Valentine, but the two acts can sound diametrically opposed at times. A true collaboration between all four of the group's members, Ride's brooding vibe was more akin to a series of sonic assaults than the ethereal dream pop of their peers. Their debut, 1990's Nowhere, endures as a landmark of the genre, while subsequent alt-rock-leaning albums like 1994's Carnival of Light successfully maintained the immediacy of their earlier work.
