This is the second album by the Los Angeles-based dream pop/shoegaze/folkgaze band. The two main members –Aimée Nash and Scot Van Ryper are Australian, and they moved to Los Angeles sometime between their 2009 debut album and the new one. Although it’s mainly the two of them, they’ve carried some extra members who came from other bands like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Dum Dum Girls.
This is reminiscent of a lot of stuff that I really love from the early 1990s. Galaxie 500. Mazzy Star. Swallow.
This is another band that I’d never heard of, but whose album that I fell in love with after listening to just a few seconds of one song. Let Me Be Your Light is taken from the new album “The Door Behind the Door” due for release 24th February 2015.

The Black Ryder is a collaboration between Australian duo Aimee Nash & Scott Von Ryper now based in Los Angeles.

Their debut album ‘Buy The Ticket, Take the Ride’ was released through Mexican Summer (USA) in September 2010 & EMI Music / The Anti-Machine Machine (Australia). Rolling Stone Magazine Australia included the album in their Top Albums of the Year.

The much anticipated follow up to their acclaimed debut was released on 24th February 2015, ‘The Door Behind the Door’ transforms The Black Ryder’s kaleidoscopic sound and vision into something even more vivid, uncompromising, and sublime, bringing in new textures and emotions and moments of catharsis and transcendence.

The band will be playing shows both in the USA + UK in support of their new album release in February & March, & will be joining The Jesus & Mary Chain as special guests on their Psychocandy USA tour in May.

Once in a while, a record comes along that’s so intricate in its production, so moving in its performance, and so immediate in its emotion that you know  even upon your first listen, that you’ll return to it again and again. You know right away that the record is so indelible that it will be there for you when you want to put on headphones late at night in a dark room and analyze its subtleties. But, mainly, you know that it will be there for you when you want to experience the sheer cathartic passion that only the best music can give. The Black Ryder’s “The Door Behind the Door” is such an album. This is the Official audio for “Let Me Be Your Light” from The Black Ryder’s
New album – The Door Behind the Door – Released February 24th 2015

Great performance from the Black Ryder live at Austin Psych Festival taken from the DVD “Live At The Power Plant”  we can expect to be hearing a lot about Australian Rhinestone Droners, The Black Ryder.

The duo, Aimee Nash and Scott Van Ryper, have stayed true to their art on their latest album and picked up from where they left off on their debut record, not succumbing to their new Hollywood surroundings as other artists have in the past. They have a new album out now ,”The Door Behind The Door” continues the dreamy cinematic nature that was established in the band’s debut album, “Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride”, and keeps their ethereal musical perspectives alive through the forces of reverb and guitar effects on songs such as ‘Seventh Moon’ and ‘The Going Up Was Worth The Coming Down’.

The bands talent at creating beautiful songs, even without vocals. a much darker feel and a sense of loss and mourning for something that we do not know exactly what we’re mourning for. The Black Ryder have a knack for creating slow-building songs, leading to anthemic choruses and lasting outros and this is demonstrated on every vocal track on the new album. Whether it be by adding a choir of backing vocals, or adding extra keyboard, The Black Ryder certainly know how to attain an epic conclusion to a song.
