Welcome to the ninth Songs of the Week of 2024. It was a somewhat slow week for new songs, perhaps because a lot of the music industry is at SXSW, but there were more than enough that impressed us. More

Welcome to the sixth Songs of the Week of 2024. It was a stacked week for new tracks. Vampire Weekend released two songs and they both made the list (and might’ve charted even higher if they had just put out one song and not split the vote). Even most of the honorable mentions are great this week and would’ve made the main list on other weeks. More

Welcome to the first Songs of the Week of 2024. This week’s list includes songs from the last two weeks, as we didn’t do a Songs of the Week last week due to it being the first week of the year and there not being a lot of worthy songs to consider. But this week the music industry was in full swing, with plenty of important album announcements. More

Jul 13, 2019 By Christopher Roberts

Welcome to another Songs of the Week. We didn’t do a Songs of the Week last week because of the July 4th holiday; there really weren’t too many new songs last week. So this week’s edition covers songs from both this week and last week, hence we have 12 choices. More

Jan 12, 2018 By Mark Redfern

We haven’t posted a Songs of the Week post in quite awhile, as there weren’t that many new songs of note over the holidays or at the start of the year, but this week there was an tidal wave of new tracks worth considering for this list. It was definitely a challenge to narrow it down to only 10 (Franz Ferdinand and Marlon Williams almost made the Top 10). More

2016 was regarded as a fairly rough year by many, but 2017 was no walk in the park either. 2016 was mired by the deaths of several beloved musical icons (David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, and Sharon Jones among them) and the disappointing and divisive Presidential election, but in 2017 we had to deal with the ramifications of said election (we’d say that roughly 95% of the musicians we interview likely don’t support many, if any, of President Trump’s policies). More

Nov 02, 2017 By Christopher Roberts

British shoegazing icons Ride reformed in 2014 and have been touring, and finally released their first new album in 21 years, Weather Diaries, back in June via Wichita. Now they have shared a brand new song, “Pulsar,” which isn’t featured on the album and is inspired by space. More

It’s been a rewarding four years for Ride since the band returned to the live stage in the early part of 2015 after an 18-year hiatus. Since then, the Oxford, England-formed four-piece have recorded two critically acclaimed albums culminating in this year’s excellent This Is Not a Safe Place, a record some are calling their finest since 1992’s Going Blank Again. More

Sep 19, 2017 By Lily Moayeri

Timing is everything. Seminal early ‘90s U.K. group Ride broke up prior to the release of its—at the time—final album, 1996’s Tarantula. Much was made of this split, marking it as acrimonious, when in reality it only lasted a few weeks with the members returning to each other quickly, albeit as friends, not band mates. More

Sep 17, 2015 By Austin Trunick

Jun 20, 2017 By Austin Trunick

Over the years we’ve probed Ride again and again about the possibility of new music. Kudos to them for keeping coy through all of our haranguing (which, no doubt, they’ve received from everyone they’ve ever spoken to in the 20 years since their dissolution.) More

Jun 20, 2017 By Aug Stone

The first four songs on Weather Diaries, Ride‘s first album in 21 years, nod to the shoegazing band’s early ‘90s output. Feel-wise and melodically, the intention is there but unfortunately the songs aren’t. More
