- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
In recent years, Transit have gradually become more mainstream alternative in
sound. If you were to revisit Keep This To Yourself (2010), youÆll hear that
the band started as a primarily punk group blending indie rock. By the time
they had joined Rise and released Listen & Forgive (2012), they began showing
signs of maturation in the length of melodic calmness. While Young New England
(2013) had a heart gilded in punk soul, the record, as a whole, still felt
like it was wearing a blanket of alternative influence. Still, it was a step
back to a more familiar honesty in the band. That now brings us to Joyride,
the bandÆs third Rise release, and their most relaxed collection.
The first track, ôThe Only One,ö plays like ôNothing Lasts Foreverö from Young
New England; itÆs got a sweet honesty equivalent to a Wes Anderson film, and
becomes more memorable with every fresh spin. Jump ahead several tracks, and
Joyride gives us its most upbeat moments. Starting with ôSweet Resistance,ö
the album rediscovers some of the bandÆs desired energy. The chorus is catchy,
the verses bouncy, and the lyrics classic Transit. Then you have ôNothing Left
To Lose,ö which is simple, yet undeniably fun and entertaining. In its second
half, the record slows down more by comparison. ôFine By Me,ö ôLoneliness
Burns,ö and ôSummer Dustö are the most enjoyable from this bunch, and are
primarily fueled by contemporary styles.
