Stream and revisit: our pick of the albums reviewed on these pages during the past week is Flicker, the new solo LP from Ride and Oasis’ Andy Bell.

“It’s high time Andy Bell received the recognition he deserves.”

“With his career in music spanning over 30 years – firstly with one of the most prominent bands of the shoegaze movement (Ride), and then one of the biggest bands of all time (Oasis) – he should by rights already have near-legendary status.”

“Over the last five years, his output has been astonishing. Inspired (if that’s the right word) by the death of David Bowie and his relentless prolificity, Bell has overseen two Ride albums, two albums and a glut of EPs under the GLOK pseudonym, and one ‘traditional’ solo album.”

“And now, with a tour to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Ride’s debut album already on the 2022 slate, Bell has somehow found the time to unleash his biggest project to date: a double album of 18 songs as his second solo album. And a hefty undertaking it is.”
