Ride announce details of first new album in more than 20 years

Ride, the pioneering shoegaze band behind acclaimed albums like Nowhere and Going Blank Again, have shared some new details about its forthcoming album. After announcing the record was in the works in December and releasing two singles last month, the British band?s first new songs in more than 20 years, Pitchfork reports the new album is called Weather Diaries and will be out June 16 on Wichita Records. And alongside those details was the release of a new music video for lead single ?Charm Assault?
I gotta say - after 4-5 listens I'm just not feeling the new Feelies album.  I love the Feelies and think In Between is good and has a few great moments, but overall I like it less than Here Before (and most of the earlier albums).

Interesting. I'd say it gets better every time I hear it…I think from start to finish it actually is one of the most cohesive LPs. Maybe it sounds too demo-y for you? I think "Gone Gone Gone", "Been Replaced" and "Flag Days" hold up as some of their best songs.
Queens Of The Stone Age have ?just finished? their new album

?Queens of the Stone Age, Mastodon and At the Drive-In have all been recording,? he said, ?and we all have new records coming out this year.?

so when is QOTSA coming to DC???
The new Mastodon album is so limp and weak, in my opinion.

The Anthem sounds like a good venue for them.

Sounds like a good soundtrack for a plane ride.  Along with Jamiroquai.
;D
There are 10 albums on that list that I am excited about.

Gave it a listen today and agree. Used to love those guys.
So did I. Everything through Blood Mountain was great, and I even liked Crack the Skye for a little while. But they lost me after that.
6-disc set for Sgt. Pepper's 50th anniversary.
