“You Gotta Ride”

by Sky Sunlight Saxon
2005 song

The guttural garage-rock impulses of "You Gotta Ride" never manage to vanquish its psychedelic sidetracks. The result is a psych-garage melding of styles that leads off Sky Saxon’s 2005 CD Transparency. The guitar cranks out a crunchy riff, all cheerful major chords with a fuzzy edge, but echoing keyboards keep drifting higher and higher, drowning out the rest.

Sky Saxon is in his element, of course. His voice is double-tracked which, rather than solidifying his presence, has the effect of making him sound even more distant and disembodied. "You Gotta Ride" is short and its message is simple, but it’s a fine way to lead off the album.
