Atmospheric indie rock band Pale Rider has officially released their highly anticipated sophomore album, 1to0, available today on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. A limited edition 12” pink vinyl, with only 250 copies available, is now available online for immediate shipping, celebrating the band’s latest artistic evolution.
Pale Rider seamlessly blends genres, capturing the depth of human experience through their music. Their latest single, “EyeSwoon”, is out now alongside the album, showcasing the band’s signature immersive sound. 1to0 was produced by the band, engineered and mixed by Jon Paz Gale, mastered by Nick Bassett (Nothing, Deafheaven), and is released via Coming Home Records.
Originally the solo project of singer/songwriter Rus Martin, Pale Rider organically expanded into a quartet in 2023, with longtime friends and seasoned musicians joining forces. The lineup—featuring Rus Martin, Thomas Kraus, Jon Santana, and Joe Ramos—crafts introspective sonic landscapes that bridge the creative terrain between California’s High Desert and Inland Empire.
The album includes previously released singles “Until We Meet Again,” “Tonight Is Ours,” “Your Faces,” and “EyeSwoon”, all of which contribute to 1to0’s compelling storytelling. The record explores the highs and lows of love, embracing experimental songwriting and atmospheric post-punk influences. Inspired by ‘90s shoegaze and ambient rock, Pale Rider enhances genre conventions with intimate melodies and expansive soundscapes. “EyeSwoon” encapsulates their ability to evoke emotions ranging from hope to melancholy, inviting listeners on a deeply personal journey. Stream 1to0 now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms, and grab a copy of the limited-edition vinyl online while supplies last.

“As a song, “EyeSwoon” is a gorgeous piece of music. As a single, it does precisely what every single should do…it makes you want to know more.” - The Big Takeover
"With 1to0, we set out to craft a sonic journey through love, loss, and the inevitable transition from one to none. Now that the album is out, we’re excited to see how it resonates with listeners. Each song is a reflection of life’s unpredictable highs and lows, and thrives on the paradox of isolation fostering connection, inviting people to immerse themselves in its layers and discover their own meaning within the sound." - Rus Martin / Vocals
