Interplay, Ride’s seventh album and third since their 2015 reunion, feels like a culmination of their journey. It blends their signature frenzied guitars and dreamy hooks with broader sounds—synths, psychedelic folk, electronic beats, and noir-pop. Created amid pandemic challenges, personal break-ups, and legal battles threatening the band’s survival, the album carries a defiant spirit, pairing themes of escapism and yearning with resilience and strength.
