I was a bit of an indie kid in my youth and in many ways still am. The sun came out this weekend, co-inciding with my purchase of "Waves", the BBC sessions buy one of my favourite bands of the nineties, Ride. Ride started as a melodic, white-noise outfit (kind of Sonic Youth meets The Smiths) and progressed to more and more hippy, trippy, 60s influences until imploding in the second half of the decade.
On "Waves", a great selection for fans, I came across a hitherto unknown and joyous cover of The Pale Saints' Sight of You which has put a grin on my face which a day at work has not yet rubbed off. Beautiful. The BBC session of Like a Daydream is luscious too. Ah, indie, what has become of you?
