‘Bike Ride’ is a singular moment to me, a piece of indie rock that instantly feels years older than it is. From the first moment I heard it, I knew this song had something uniquely endearing about it. There’s an undying feel of blissfulness and wistfulness to it, the kind of nostalgia that only the best indie anthems are able to bring to life. The song in itself is an eruption, starting slow and hopeful till it absolutely explodes into an electrifying unloading of energy. That switch up in and of itself makes ‘Bike Ride’ something worth jumping into.
If you’re an indie addict like myself, DUDE, MY DUDE are an act you’re going to want to keep an eye on. The inventiveness, imagination, and execution on ‘Bike Ride’ is the kind of quality you’d expect from a trailblazing artist. A special one, undoubtedly.
