Ride detail new Tomorrow's Shore EP, share new track "Catch You Dreaming"

09 January 2018, 11:47 | Written by Laurence Day

Ride are back with "Catch You Dreaming", the second single from their new EP Tomorrow's Shore following last year's "Pulsar" stunner.

The shoegaze legends returned last year with Weather Diaries - their first studio long-player in over two decades - and these new numbers come from the same sessions with Erol Alkan and Alan Moulder.

"'Catch You Dreaming' is written from the perspective of being one of the last two people alive, watching as the universe is ending," explains the band's Andy Bell. "The protagonist looks back over the time when humanity existed, realising that we as humans brought about our own inevitable demise. Then the couple look back over their own lives of shared memories and as they are sharing this moment, everything vaporises. It’s a love song about fate, nostalgia, and having no regrets."

"The song itself was intended to be a part of Weather Diaries," Bell continues, "and recording started during the sessions in autumn 2016. But we never managed to record a definitive version at the time and decided to come back to it later as part of a follow up EP, which is now finished, and titled Tomorrow’s Shore. The EP was made with an identical process to Weather Diaries and we see it as very much tied to the album.

In other news, Ride's Steve Querelt recently penned an essay for us on the enduring power of Scottish post-rockers Mogwai. Check it out.

Tracklist:

  1. Pulsar
  2. Keep It Surreal
  3. Cold Water People
  4. Catch You Dreaming
The Tomorrow's Shore EP is released 16 February via Wichita.
