Glok (Andy Bell in dance/ electronic/ cosmische modes) has just announced a new album, out in September called Pattern Recognition. It feels a little depressing to be making plans for September by which point summer will be over and the new school year and autumn kicking in but that's how release schedules work. The first fruits of it are a wonderful new song, Maintaining The Machine, with Sinead O'Brien on vocals and Primal Scream's Simone Butler on bass. Synths washing back and forth, bubbling sounds, a lazy beat, double tracked vox, bathing in hypnotic and dreamy sonics.
Sinead O'Brien is a Limerick based poet and musician. This is her last year on a poem set to song from an EP called Drowning In Blessings, called Most Modern Painting- a quick fire spoken word/ post- punk/ art rock face off that is 'a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious, through dream recall, memory, the individual and the ego'. We're up for all of that aren't we?

There are shades of Laurie Anderson among the Uniquely GLOK sounds and rhythms. Kinda love it!
Andy has been keeping us busy. Hope he keeps it up.
Andy Bell can do no wrong, on the evidence so far. I really like spoken word set to music and Sinead O'Brien is no exception. I'll be exploring further.
