Today Ra Ra Riot are happy to share a session a Jim Eno Spotify session. The band visited Eno’s Public Hi-Fi Studio when they were in Austin, TX this past March and recorded their current single “Water” as well as “Absolutely” and “Foreign Lovers.” Spotify notes, “The session was a flurry of keys, harmonies and strings. We might have even given ‘Water’ a pretty major facelift courtesy of a Moog synth.”

Ra Ra Riot are playing select festivals this summer including a stop at Outside Lands in San Francisco before hitting the road with Young The Giant on their upcoming Fall tour. The two bands kick off the dates September 6 at Cleveland’s House Of Blues and conclude with a two night stand on October 27 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. Along the way, the tour hits New York City for a show at Radio City Music Hall on September 17 and Los Angeles’ Greek Theater on October 21. Ra Ra Riot’s full Summer and Fall tour is listed below.

Need Your Light (Barsuk), Ra Ra Riot’s newest album, was released earlier this year and the current single “Water” is now impacting at radio with spins at stations across the US. Since the album’s release Ra Ra Riot have criss-crossed the US playing to packed, sold-out audiences. Of Need Your Light Pitchfork noted “they have finally hit the sweet spot” and The LA Times called “Water” “impossibly catchy.” Further accolades came from Entertainment Weekly who said “Need Your Light, might be their most artful and catchiest set yet” and Harper’s Bazaar said, “The singles from Light don’t stray from the band’s fun indie vibe.”

Ra Ra Riot is Wes Miles (vocals),Mathieu Santos (bass), Milo Bonacci (guitar), Rebecca Zeller (violin), and Kenny Bernard (drums)
