Rise Again\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMontreal based trio Afternoon Bike Ride blend alluring dream-pop vocals, lo-fi beat music, sensitive acoustic instrumentation and leftfield production to create an irresistible post-genre signature sound. Set for release on 09\/24\/21, their self titled debut album is a sonic hug that collects 15 tracks conveying messages of self-love, kindness, community and hope. These songs lyrically flurry over instrumentals meant to incline the listener to pause their inner monologue and take a moment to breathe. Musician-producers David Tanton (aka Rhoda\/Tender Spring), Éloi Le BlancRinguette (aka Thomas White), and Lia Kurihara (aka LIA) who also writes and sings for the group; met in Montreal and formed Afternoon Bike Ride in 2018. Originally intended as a creative, collaborative aside to their own solo projects (collectively they’ve amassed 100’s of millions of streams), they found the music progressing. They say “We each felt like it was a space to experiment with different sounds than we were typically used to making. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs we crafted our songs, we realized that our sound progressed into a more refined and intricate version of our beginnings, letting vocals take center stage on some tracks, involving different instrumentalists, spending more time on sound design, incorporating facets of unexpected genres wherever we can.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing EP releases with College Music and Dust Collectors, the project steadily developed throughout 2019 before signing with LA based label Friends of Friends Music in 2020. ‘Skipping Stones’ EP was released in March, which picked up support on BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe creative process towards the album began with the three friends on the rooftop of David’s apartment in Montreal. The warmth of life in Québec nestled in the purity of it’s winter proves to be a necessary tool in the uniqueness of this album. The engulfing warmth of their music is inspired by the lack thereof; this album is meant to kiss the coldest of hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOTHER ACTIVITY: https:\/\/www.friendsoffriendsmusic.com\/ \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Friends of Friends","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41037669826716,"sku":"FOF201LP","price":21.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/2_2a4ad7f4-bcfe-4269-bcbb-4c198558de41.jpg?v=1633508216","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/afternoon-bike-ride-afternoon-bike-ride","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
