New Electric Ride - Balloon Age

Release Date:02/25/2014;Notes:Limited aqua colored vinyl LP pressing with digital download. 2014 debut full-length from the British Indie band. If New Electric Ride don't travel at the speed of light, then they certainly travel at the speed of sound. Little else could explain the band's rapid ascent from formation, to performance, to their thrilling ride into the high atmosphere with BALLOON AGE. After the recording and release of a very well-received S/T debut EP., they began accumulating regular airplay on a variety of radio outlets, both in their native UK and elsewhere in Europe. Soon the band would be invited to record with the notable Black Cab Sessions series, multiple shows, including a match-made-in-heaven opening slot with Psychedelic legends the Pretty Things. A tightly wound collection of songs that don't unfold so much as they blossom, New Electric Ride display congenital comfort with outlandishly catchy melodies, high-grade harmonies and hooks by the barrel.
