Gentle Friendly – Ride Slow (2009)

I’ve been meaning to post this for quite a while but only just got a half decent rip of it. Gentle Friendly is a duo originally from Birmingham, who now reside in the big smoke of London. Their sound blends glitchy electronics with stripped back percussion and (as odd as it may seem) an organ. The record hums and chugs along with machine-like insistency with pounding rhythm and echoing, dream-like vocals, fluctuating between rawkus fuzz and more gentle reflections, such as in should-be hit anthem “Lovers Rock”.
