If there were such a thing as Ride’s ‘Time Machine’, there’s a hefty chance that the Italian band Piatcions would have hopped into it and from wherever they landed (my guess is about 1992) they would have drawn their influence to write a record that oozes early nineties, Ride-style shoegaze with some more modern influences too. The homage to Ride in the sustained vocal harmonies is very apparent as an influence, but there’s a glaze of psychedelia too which makes for an interesting and diverse listen.
