Come with us and hitch your coat-tails to New Electric Ride’s heady mix of catchy, lysergic fuelled psych-pop that flows unabated through their forthcoming album Balloon Age.
Channeling everything that was good about the psychedelic revolution of the 60s – the whig-outs, the drop-outs and the love-ins – the band expertly twist Byrdsian jangle and Beatles grooves into a wonderful, dizzying cocktail of melody and harmonies that is a joy to behold.
Check out Lovers and the outlandishly infectious Bring What You Expect To Get below.
The album is out via Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records on the 25th February.
(And they’re from Sunderland. If the Black Cats tried listening to this in the dressing room on a Saturday afternoon they might at least play with a smile on their face, and who knows it might even inspire a Jozy Altidore hallucinogenic haze where he actually kicks the ball at the big white, netty thing at the end of the pitch.)
