Andy Bell's Second Solo Album To Be Released Next Month
Flicker is the second album from Ride guitarist and songwriter Andy Bell. Written almost as a conversation with his teenage self, it follows the triumphant solo debut that was 2020’s The View From Halfway Down.
This 18-track double album is released on February 11th and finds Andy moving towards classic songwriting, notably on the reflective lead single ‘Something Like Love’, the strident harmonies of ‘World of Echo’, the joyous refracted loops of ‘Jenny Holzer B. Goode’ and the fuzz-laden late-’60s balladeering of ‘Love Is The Frequency’. Stylistically, the four sides of Flicker take in everything from modern psychedelia to fingerpicked folk, whimsical baroque pop, and Byrdsian 12-string beauty. It’s a breathtaking array and makes it even more abundantly clear that Andy has entered a purple patch in his songwriting, hitting a new velocity in contrast to his initial inhibitions about becoming a solo artist. He gradually overcame these after the passing of David Bowie in 2016, with the Thin White Duke’s bountiful 50 years of music providing inspiration from beyond the grave.
Below is the new single Something Like Love

So we didn’t actually get there in the end did we?
I finished writing/demoing the next NGHFB album about 10 days ago.
Thought you might wanna hear this little piece which - like last year’s offering - sounds quite appropriate for this New Year’s Day.
Hope you had THE BEST night (as much as was allowed anyway) and hopefully we’ll catch up somewhere in the summer.
ONWARDS.
