GLOK and Timothy Clerkin align on new album ‘Alliance’.
GLOK is the digital alter ego of Journey’s Andy Bell, and the English musician has constructed a manufacturing catalogue of refined journey. Launched by mutual buddies, Timothy Clerkin took half in Andy’s ‘Dissident Remixed’ album, which got here out in 2019.
Crossing paths at Andrew Weatherall’s funeral, the pair stored in contact, finally swapping concepts over e-mail. New album ‘Alliance’ is the tip consequence – out on November 8th via Bytes, it’s a completely collaborative effort.
“We didn’t talk about a lot in the best way of route,” says Andy. “I used to be having fairly a inventive spell on the time, to me it felt like making music was retaining me sane however once I suppose again, it was truly making me extra insane, simply otherwise.”
The album was largely constructed over the pandemic, and the roles had been cut up 50/50. “It was all executed remotely,” Tim continues, “firing concepts backwards and forwards between 2020 and 2021 whereas I used to be in Amsterdam and Andy in London. I believe individuals will in all probability suppose that I did the synths and Andy did the guitars, however we truly performed a fairly equal quantity of each! That’s one of many causes I like it, it’s a correct collaboration, the place we each tried new issues and nothing was off limits.”
With Andy Bell’s GLOK outbursts positioned into what he phrases “the Clerkin blender”, the outcomes will be out shortly.
