We’re on our way, slowly but surely, to the end of 2025.
Instead of starting to think about this year’s best LPs,
let’s go back to 2024 and listen to TUTV‘s 20 Best Albums
again and look back on what we wrote about each one
of them.
Today: No. 9
Band: RIDE (UK)
Album: INTERPLAYrplay
Their 7th one.
Pitchfork said: ‘Interplay does just about enough to keep everyone happy.
Shoegaze fans get a sonic-cathedral finale, while Ride follow their creative
whims.’
TUTV: With Interplay their shoegaze past goes into the dustbin. Ride came
up here with a multi-layered pop LP stuffed with arousing tunes, alternated
with pepped-up reveries.
All songs are sublimely orchestrated and bathe in a psychedelic jacuzzi,
while vocalist Mark Gardner‘s velvet vocals match the radiant atmosphere
exquisitely. It’s a new ride, and it’s a gratifying one.
