EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: Gentle Friendly - Ride Around Shining
London duo Gentle Friendly’s DiY pop has needed to be lo-fi so long you fear discomfort in slicker sonic surrounds, fascination with Sizzurp-quaffing Lil' Wayne or not. Still, there’s something oddly poignant and ceremonial about "Ride Around Shining", which starts off sounding like Yoni Wolf’s Why? and ends up loitering somewhere between Crystal Castles’ most cherished moments and the woozy drift of Arch M, David Morris’ warped vocal brilliant light rippling out across a melange of toy keyboards and misfiring lasers. More resolved is "Ride Symbols", which we posted at RCRD LBL back in spring. It’s one of four tracks that will appear on Gentle Friendly’s awesome debut 7”, out on Monday (24 Nov) through No Pain In Pop.
