Going Blank Again

Going Blank Again, Ride's 1992 second album, expands the band's shoegaze foundation with clearer production, stronger emphasis on songcraft and melody, and a broader palette that includes dream pop and neo-psychedelic touches. Dense, chiming guitars and generous reverb create a shimmering wall of sound around twin vocal harmonies, while the arrangements move between layered, driving rockers and quieter, more introspective passages. The record is notable for balancing immersive guitar textures with more conventional melodic structures, representing a more expansive and polished phase of the band's early work.
