Andy Bell is also lining up acoustic and covers EPs.
Andy Bell’s new EP I Am A Strange Loop – which features the likes of David Holmes and A Place To Bury Strangers putting fresh takes on select cuts from this year’s Flicker LP – is streaming online now.
Flicker has proved to be one of Live4ever’s top releases of 2022; summed up in our review as the Ride and Oasis man’s own ‘White Album’:
“Consciously a double album, the two halves open with tracks (The Sky Without You and The Looking Glass) which belie Bell’s appreciation of the musical greats, both consisting of backwards effects which echo both mid-period Beatles and The Stone Roses’ Don’t Stop,” our review reads.
“While guitar-fuzz is (broadly speaking) his signature sound, numerous other instruments are added to the pot: We All Fall Down is a delightful ballroom waltz driven by piano, while the ivories work in conjunction with the organ on the swaggering, Stonesy electronic blues of No Getting Out Alive.”
