Cowboy (album)

Cowboy is the ninth studio album by the British alternative rock band Ride, released in 2024. Marking a significant departure from their shoegaze origins, Cowboy sees Ride exploring a more Americana-influenced sound, incorporating elements of country rock and folk.

The album's themes revolve around disillusionment, aging, and the search for meaning in a changing world. Lyrically, it explores themes of isolation and the feeling of being an outsider.

Cowboy was produced by DJ Shadow. It received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its adventurous spirit and strong songwriting, while others felt the stylistic shift was jarring and lacked the band's characteristic sound.
