Andy Bell - Untitled Film Stills [COLOURED VINYL] (10" Single)

Add to Cart

Ride guitarist and songwriter Andy Bell has announced a series of three EPs featuring remixes, acoustic versions and covers of songs that inspired his second solo album, Flicker, which was released on Sonic Cathedral to great acclaim back in February.

Untitled Film Stills collects songs that inspired Flicker by Yoko Ono, Pentangle, The Kinks and Arthur Russell. "The idea was that I would be covering songs which helped in some way to colour in the edges of the picture of the influences that make up Flicker," explains Andy.

"The song Jenny Holzer B. Goode on the album refers to a few of the female artists from the music and art worlds who I find inspiring, including Yoko Ono, so it felt right to include a cover of Listen, The Snow is Falling, my favourite Yoko Ono song.

"Pentangle's Light Flight came out in 1970, the year I was born, and I've loved it ever since I heard it on the 1997 folk compilation Transatlantic Ticket.

"Nat Cramp, the head honcho of Sonic Cathedral, requested that I cover The Way Love Used to Be. I'd never heard this song despite being a big fan of The Kinks, but it's lovely and it felt very natural to do a version of. All hail Ray Davies!

"Arthur Russell has been a big reference point for all my music away from 'band world.' There is something impressionistic and open-ended about his records. I guess you could describe the production style I'm trying for on Our Last Night Together as World of Echo meets This Mortal Coil doing Skip Spence."
