Ride announce new album 'Interplay'

Following on from their highly-praised LP 'This Is Not A Safe Place' in 2019, Ride have now announced their plans for a new studio album, arriving in the coming months.

The new full-length 'Interplay' is being previewed by the new lead single 'Peace Sign', and is set to be released on the 29th March via Wichita Recordings / PIAS.

Speaking about the new offering, guitarist/vocalist Andy Bell said, “'Peace Sign' started life as a jam recorded at Marks’ OX4 studio, in early 2021. We called it ‘Berlin’ and initially it featured Loz on drums, Steve on bass and myself on a prophet 5 synth. About six months later I got hold of the recording and wrestled it into song form. Lyrically I was inspired by a film called The Alpinist about the visionary free climber Marc-André Leclerc. Soon after I’d finished working on the song I remember I was raving to my bandmates about Leclerc at OX4, and a good memory of that time was us all watching that film at Mark’s studio.”

While adding about the new record, “This album has taken a long time to make, and has seen the band go through a lot of ups and downs; maybe the most of any Ride album. But it has seen us come through the process as a band in a good place, feeling able to shake off the past, and ready to celebrate the combined musical talents that brought us together in the first place."
