Earlier this year Ride’s Andy Bell put out a spectacular double solo album called “Flicker”. The 18 track release covers everything from modern psychedelia to finger picked folk and baroque pop.
Talking about the album Bell Stated. “When I think about Flicker, I see it as closure,”. Bell continues “Most literally, on a half-finished project from over six years ago, but also on a much bigger timescale. Some of these songs date back to the ’90s and the cognitive dissonance of writing brand new lyrics over songs that are 20-plus years old makes it feel like it is, almost literally, me exchanging ideas with my younger self.”
Bell recently released “Lifeline” which is one of the folkier tracks on the album as a single. The B-side is a cover of “Light Flight” by British Folk-Prog Legends Pentangle and it’s nothing short of stellar. Take a listen below.
