RIDE’s Andy Bell, recording under his electronic alter ego GLOK, and the producer and Insult to Injury label boss Timothy Clerkin have joined forces for Alliance, a brand new seven-track album released by Bytes on November 8. The collaboration finds Andy and Tim with their freak flags flying, working in a freewheeling environment where nothing was off limits, with influences ranging from Death in Vegas and Boards of Canada to James Holden and New Order.
Nothing Ever, featuring vocals from Beth Jean Houghton, aka Du Blonde, is the second single to be taken from the album. It's a hit in waiting; a fuzzed-up, scuzzed-up, dazzling indie-dance banger, with Beth’s lip-curling vocal a perfect fit for Andy and Tim’s music. The versions available here are different to the one featured on the album.
"Nothing Ever is a wilfully wayward pop song that bounces along on boisterous beats and a groovy b-line" Ban Ban Ton Ton
