SUMMARY:GLOK
DESCRIPTION:GLOK is the electronic alter ego of Andy Bell; best-known as the guitarist in venerated shoegazers Ride\, alongside stints in other famous groups\, with a noteworthy solo career too. This October his first album proper as GLOK – ‘Pattern Recognition’ – is released via Ransom Note Records’ sister label Bytes. \nAlthough usually renowned for purveying the finest quality jangle\, drone and general guitar-based magic\, Bell’s foray into dance music should come as less of a surprise than immediately meets the eye. There are parallels between the genres within the sonically-deep layers\, hypnotic sound and trance-like headspaces\, or\, as he puts it more succinctly: “GLOK is all about the push and pull between electronic and psych in my music.” \nAlthough not a full-blown concept album\, ‘Pattern Recognition’ has a loose thread which takes in a week of life\, from weekend to weekend\, with each of the vinyl’s four sides capturing different mindstates across that transition. Each side has a distinct feel that’s different to the last but inherently cohesive – much like the changes an individual goes through over 7 days. \nAcross the album with loving craft Andy weaves together throbbing dubbed-out acid\, steamy jack trax\, levitational psychedelia\, sparkling Balearic\, techno\, Kosmische\, shoegaze\, art rock and Compass Point-style post punk – with just a hint of ambient\, new age and contemporary classical too. \nThis is an 18+ event \n
