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 asthere is a strong Krautrock influence in the music, especially on the title track, ‘Dissident’, an epicclocking in just shy of the 20-minute mark, which blends synthwave, minimalism, trance, Detroit technoand John Carpenter soundtracks, with Andy even dropping in some killer John Squire-esque guitar licks.
