1. Who
are they?
Ra Ra Riot are an indie synth pop band from Syracuse, New
York. Absolutely (Jan’16) is the
second single that comes dancing and prancing off their fourth album Need Your Light (Feb’16).
5. What’s
the good word from the press?
“Ebullient,” gushed Stereogum after searching their thesaurus. Consequence of Sound managed to string a sentence together, feeling that Absolutely is "a synth pop whirl wind that asks us to seize 2016 without hesitation." On the topic of the new album Need Your Light, Aisle 5 felt that "it looks towards the future with an optimistic gaze" and is "an album that is celebratory without being saccharine."

6. Why
should I listen to Absolutely?
Absolutely is so upbeat it should be illegal and sold on street corners. It feels so good you should find it should find it in an adult store. It's an indie pop anthem.
7. What
other good tunes do Ra Ra Riot have?
So you still wanna riot? Start with Beta Love for more of the same happy synth pop. Dying Is Fine is a brilliant indie pop rocker and last but not least the first single off the new album, Water, is a slower, more deep and meaningful track.
8. Anything else I should know?
Need
Your Light was produced by Ryan Hadlock who has broken rocks in the
hot sun for The Lumineers and Vance Joy.
Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend produced and co-wrote
two of the songs on the album and sang on the first single Water.
Ra Ra Riots second album was mixed by Chris Walla who did
production on The Thermals new album We
Disappear (March’16).
“Break,
break, breaking free
No
gravity is keeping me down”
The double team is from Discovery the indie electronic pop collaboration
between Wes Miles and Rostam Batmanglij. Swing Tree (2010) is a sweet little leccy number.
