Ride teased fans a few weeks ago with the promise of new music. Today the shoegaze legends have made good on the promise and unveiled details behind their sixth studio album, This Is Not A Safe Place. Ride once again teamed up with Erol Alkan, producer behind 2017's Weather Diaries, for the 12 track album which is brimming with Ride's signature harmonies. This Is Not A Safe Place came together at the end of 2018 and was mixed by Alan Moulder and Caesar Edmunds at Assault and Battery in London.
Along with the album announcement Ride debuted the first taste of music from the soon-to-be classic album. "Future Love" is a brillant shimmery dream pop track filled with hope, love, and promise. Andy Bell reveals the track is "about the beginning of a relationship, when everything feels possible."
Stream the glorious "Future Love" below. This Is Not A Safe Place arrives on August 16th on CD, double gatefold 2LP, and green limited edition 2LP. View pre-order options here.
Tonight Ride return to the stage to play their first live show of 2019. Tonight's show at MOTH in London kicks off a handful of tour dates/festival dates overseas. More tour dates are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
