Ride guitarist Andy Bell’s third solo album, Pinball Wanderer, is a cosmic blend of psychedelic melodies, Can-style grooves, and Arthur Russell-inspired experimentation. Featuring Dot Allison and Neu!’s Michael Rother on a cover of “I’m In Love With a German Film Star,” the album flows between deep headphone immersion and effortlessly cool dancefloor energy. Built from loose, hypnotic rhythm sessions with former Oasis bandmate Gem Archer, it’s Bell’s most inspired and atmospheric work yet — a true nocturnal journey.
