The Nude Party from the album Rides On

The Nude Party from the album Rides On on New West Records  (by Bryant Liggett)
The Nude Party are well on their way to building a most impressive catalog of Indie Rock. A short list thus far, but each one has built on the previous; they’re consistently good, with the latest in Ride On adding to what’s so far, a killer collection. This is what laid-back, care-free soundtrack for your worry-less weekend should sound like.
A singular riff kicks off the record with “Word Gets Around;” it’s a laid back groover that ultimately drops sweet background ‘bops’. “Midnight on Lafayette Park” has a 1930’s lounge vibe, “Polly Anne” has punchy honky-tonk piano, and they channel, give a nod to, and honor The Velvet Underground on the title track. “Tree of Love” is a 2023 tap to the British Invasion, “Somebody Tryin’ to Hoodoo Me” is a bit of North Mississippi Psychedelic Blues, and the closer in “Red Rocket Ride” is harmonica heavy, Indie Folk.
What an album! The Nude Party does decades old, Brit-inspired Blues Rock, pre- and post-Punk, and a Folkie jangle, while also keeping both feet firmly planted in 2023. There are layers of instrumentation, loads of subtle, head-sticking riffs, and a fun, garage rock, boogie vibe. There’s nothing NOT to love about Ride On; heavy organ, punchy guitar solos and an overall, laid-back GROOVE are the stars of this album. It’s 2023 with influences from 1965 Brit Rock, 1975 Psych Rock, and 1985 Punk Rock all mixed into a perfect cocktail of a record.  (by Brynat Liggett)
