View video shot during making of The Rides’ 2nd album, Pierced Arrow - out in May

The Rides have released a video shot during the making of their second album, Pierced Arrow, focusing on their old-school approach to recording.

Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Barry Goldberg release the follow-up to 2013 debut Can’t Get Enough on May 6 via Provogue Records. They’ve already streamed their tracks Virtual World, Kick Out Of It and I’ve Got To Use My Imagination.

They recorded on to analogue tape using a vintage Neve mixing console. Shepherd says: “We make records the way they were originally intended to be done. You can hear the progression between the first and second album, establishing who we are as The Rides.”

The blues-rock supergroup tour North America in May and June.
