Ride share final album preview with new single, "Monaco"
Ride have shared the brand new single, "Monaco" as the final preview of their forthcoming seventh studio album, Interplay.
The track follows the previously released singles, "Peace Sign" and "Last Frontier", which came with the news that the four piece would be touring the UK and Ireland this September.
“The backing track came from the earlier Ox4 Sound sessions we did and we gave it a demo name of ‘Monaco’ as we were naming these jams and ideas we were pulling together as place names," explains frontman Mark Gardener. "One evening, during the recording sessions at Ox4 Sound, the guys had all left the building and I was there with just producer Richie Kennedy and an engineer. I had been writing some words about how I was feeling that everybody was being smashed in the current economic climate with the rise of energy bills and all else; to the point that it just seems now that we’re having to live to work instead of working to live"
"The song is a reflection on this feeling of how we’re all being smashed to pieces and under pressure constantly financially. It’s a kind of call to arms against this whilst we still have strength to fight against it . ‘Monaco’ then stayed as the ironic title as the song is totally against the madness of the few who live in their artificial, detached rich bubbles in Monaco.”
Interplay is set for release on 29 March via Wichita Recordings / PIAS, and is available to pre-order now.
