13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Ride – Repetition

Alrighty, we’ve got another new track from shoegaze veterans Ride for you this morning.

The new song is called Repetition and it comes from the band’s upcoming album, This Is Not A Safe Place, due out August 16th.

Here’s what Ride’s Andy Bell has to say about Repetition:

“I haven’t got tired yet of blasting this track.

‘Repetition’ is at the absolute heart of “This Is Not A Safe Place“. It was one of the very first songs written for the album, and has always felt to me like one of the best songs I’ve written.

“It has a great dual harmony vocal from myself and Mark. Steve came up with the brilliant Juno 6 bassline that starts the song, which he overdubbed on our last day of recording for the album, Loz puts down a monster of a drum track, it’s both very experimental and very pop in approach and that’s what Ride always tried to do in the early days.

For me it succeeds in bringing me back to all of the things we were into and talked about when we were 18, but also being of the moment, in 2019.

“I know I am speaking for the whole band, and Erol, when I say we are really proud of this record, and we hope you enjoy it. “
