{"product_id":"pattern-recognition","title":"Pattern Recognition","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlok 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 – \u003ci\u003ePattern Recognition\u003c\/i\u003e – is released via Ransom Note Records’ sister label Bytes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough usually renowned for purveying the finest quality jangle, drone and general guitar-based magic, Bell’s foray into dance music should come as less of a surprise than immediately meets the eye. There are parallels between the genres within the sonically-deep layers, hypnotic sound and trance-like headspaces, or, as he puts it more succinctly: “Glok is all about the push and pull between electronic and psych in my music.” Although not a full-blown concept album, \u003ci\u003ePattern Recognition\u003c\/i\u003e has a loose thread which takes in a week of life, from weekend to weekend, with each of the vinyl’s four sides capturing different mindstates across that transition. Each side has a distinct feel that’s different to the last but inherently cohesive – much like the changes an individual goes through over 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the album with loving craft Andy weaves together throbbing dubbed-out acid, steamy jack trax, levitational psychedelia, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bytes","offers":[{"title":"Orange LPx2","offer_id":50500391371083,"sku":"1126396","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50500392976715,"sku":"1126392","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50500393894219,"sku":"1126395","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e56f2717-45c3-4f42-a90b-1a0ff791c31b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727777026","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/pattern-recognition","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
