Ride, To Infinity, and Nowhere!

Ride's Nowhere appears to me as a masterpiece, mingling melody with violence in a glorious crash of cymbals, acoustic guitar strumming, overdrive & reverb drenched electrics and a powerhouse rhythm section. The noise sister to Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space and pop brother of Loveless is of course English, and obliterates any recent attempt to make something "in the same style but better". This record is in fact so good I can't write anything more than providing you with means to listen to it and a high-res picture of the cover. Which was rapidly taken by yours truly in blatant disregard for copyright laws but never ending admiration for the artist, unknown to me.

another awesome artwork for another awesome record


Ah, maybe one thing to say before I end this article: If that wave on the cover is the start of a 30 meter high tsunami, then it's a pretty good equivalent to the music that's about to crash in your ears, leaving no survivors when it washes out in a foam of goodness.
