Need Your Light

Ra Ra Riot

A sun-drenched fusion of chamber pop strings and shimmering 80s-inspired synths. High-energy, melodic, and relentlessly optimistic indie pop.

It's the ultimate summer indie record for when you just want to feel good.

An unapologetically bright and euphoric collection of songs that feels like a celebration of light and movement.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, synth-driven chorus of Water that feels like a sudden burst of sunlight through clouds.
The interplay between the rhythmic violin plucking and the driving drum beat on Absolutely.
The way the title track builds into a lush, layered vocal harmony that carries the final minute.
