New - GLOK & Timothy Clerkin - Alliance - LP

WHITE VINYL!

Ride's Andy Bell, recording under his electronic alter ego GLOK, and the producer and Insult to Injury label boss Timothy Clerkin have joined forces for Alliance, a brand new seven-track album released by Bytes. The collaboration finds Andy and Tim with their freak flags flying, working in a freewheeling environment where nothing was off limits, with influences ranging from Death in Vegas and Boards of Canada to James Holden and New Order. They already knew there was chemistry -- Andy and Tim were introduced by Bytes when the label suggested Tim as a participant for the Dissident Remixed album, which was put together in 2019. Tim delivered a killer rework of "Projected Sounds," turning the Neu!-meets- Steve Reich original into a tripped-out, slo-mo acid house wonder; "Voodoo Ray" for the shoegaze generation. They later met in person at the funeral of Andrew Weatherall (whose influence can be heard in every groove of the album) and kept in touch. For Fans Of: Death in Vegas, RIDE, Andrew Weatherall, Boards of Canada, Happy Mondays, James Holden, New Order. Featuring vocals on one track from Du Blonde aka Beth Jeans Houghton. Available on limited edition white vinyl.
