Ride's "This Is Not A Safe Place" is so nice, they released it twice. The album, the British quartet's second since reforming in 2014, initially came out last year and has now received a stunning remix/reimagining treatment courtesy of Pêtr Aleksänder: Tom Hobden (Noah And The Whale) and producer Eliot James (Two Door Cinema Club, Kaiser Chiefs). "Clouds In The Mirror" (Wichita) is further proof the music that Ride—Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Laurence Colbert and Steve Queralt—is creating now is just as vital as the landmark recordings these Oxford shoegazers made three decades ago.
