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.

Across the album with loving craft Andy weaves together throbbing dubbed-out acid, steamy jack trax, levitationalpsychedelia, 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.
