Rndm - Ghost Riding Vinyl Record

A bold blend of grunge grit and power-pop charm, Ghost Riding is the second and final studio album from RNDM, the supergroup featuring Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament, singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur, and drummer Richard Stuverud. Released in 2016, this record is a vibrant, genre-hopping ride that feels raw, spontaneous, and full of character.

From the punchy swagger of the title track “Ghost Riding” to the shimmering, Bowie-esque vibes of “Kingdom in the Sky,” this album defies easy categorization. RNDM leans into Ament’s punk and alt-rock roots while letting Arthur’s eclectic voice and lyrical flair steer the ship. “Comfortable” drips with laid-back confidence, while “Stumbling Down” and “Trouble” bring introspective moods without losing momentum.

Unlike the tighter alt-rock edges of their debut, Ghost Riding plays looser and more experimental. Synth flourishes, unexpected melodies, and a confident groove give the album an edge that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. It’s as if the band is joyfully riding the line between chaos and control—just how they like it.

For fans of side-projects that actually slap, Ghost Riding delivers a stylish, emotionally rich experience. It’s a curious gem that never forgets to have fun, even while exploring the shadows.
