Nowhere, by RIDE

I totally love Nowhere and am bummed I missed out on Ride at the height of their popularity. "Smile" and "Carnival of Light" are also fabulous.
So many great songs! Most of my favourite ones are probably on Nowhere and Going Blank Again though.
That huge wash of atmospheric guitars and the sound of those crazy towering drums, along the boyish voices.. that dreampop soundscape... so English. The best of their time.
I miss them a lot. Airiel are good disciples of theirs by the way. From Chicago, go figure.
