Glok

Dissident Glok Coloured edition

GLOK is the electronic solo project from Andy Bell of shoegaze legends RIDE.

His debut album under the moniker, Dissident, was originally released last year on a limited edition cassette by Bytes, an offshoot of Ransom Note Records.

The name GLOK is a misspelling of the German word for Bell. The German connection fits well as

there is a strong Krautrock influence in the music, especially on the title track, 'Dissident', an epic

clocking in just shy of the 20-minute mark, which blends synthwave, minimalism, trance, Detroit techno

and John Carpenter soundtracks, with Andy even dropping in some killer John Squire-esque guitar licks.
