EP210: Ride “Nowhere”

It’s 1990 in the UK for a couple of weeks on the HHPP starting with Ride’s stellar debut. The Oxford quartet along with My Bloody Valentine were the stalwarts for the then gestating Shoegaze scene, but while MBV leaned more heavily into the sonic chaos of Sonic Youth, Ride drew on the psychedelia of The Stones Roses. Regardless of shared of specific influences, each would release masterpieces at the start of the decade, starting with Nowhere.
