Ra Ra Riot - Need Your Light

Limited vinyl LP pressing including digital download. 2016 release from the alt-rock band. Need Your Light, the fourth full-length album from Syracuse's Ra Ra Riot, is the sound of a band's reinvigoration. Correspondingly, the album sees the band getting back to their house party roots without abandoning the more heady soundscapes they explored with 2013's Beta Love. The band pulled in producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello) in order to start fleshing out ideas. Shortly afterward a writing trip to Milwaukee soon found themselves crafting Need Your Light with a host of previous collaborators including Ryan Hadlock (who produced 2008's The Rhumb Line) and Andrew Maury (who is a longtime friend, collaborator and live sound engineer also co-produced 2010's The Orchard). Also in the mix is Vamprire Weekend's Rostam which despite a long history of working with the band (including the Discovery project) this marks the first time he's actually produced a track (""Water"" and ""Need Your Light"").
