Pinball Wanderer/Cyan Vinyl

Description

Ride guitarist and songwriter Andy Bell's third solo album, Pinball Wanderer, is a mesmerizing collection of intergalactic alchemy, blending psychedelic melodies, Can and The Stone Roses-esque grooves, and experimental textures worthy of Arthur Russell. The album features prestigious collaborations, including Dot Allison and Neu! legend Michael Rother, on a cover of The Passions' timeless post-punk classic, "I'm In Love With A German Film Star." It's perfect for both immersive headphone listening and igniting the most cutting-edge and refined dance floors. The organic rhythms that structure the album were laid down with the help of Gem Archer, Andy's former bandmate in Oasis. The rest of the album took shape during an all-night marathon session last summer, finalized in the early morning. This is Andy Bell's most accomplished work to date: a nocturnal record par excellence, where one can drift between the notes and let themselves be carried away by the moment.
