Clear Vinyl variant released 16/1/26 // Released: 10/10/25 The Utopia Strong’s third and trippiest album, Doperider, takes inspiration from Paul Kirchner’s cult comic skeleton who rides the desert dispensing cosmic philosophy. Guided by improvisation and serendipity, Steve Davis, Kavus Torabi, and Mike York channel their chemistry into new sonic realms—echoing Caterina Barbieri’s bliss, Hiro Kone’s intensity, and Laurie Spiegel’s alien atmospheres. Their mission remains the same: to offer transformative journeys through sound. As Steve notes, “Hopefully we’ve done justice to Dope Rider. If listeners choose the psychonaut road, we’re glad to ride alongside them.” Show more
