Premiere: Andrew Weatherall – ‘Making Friends With The Invader’

Featuring Ride's Andy Bell on guitar...

The lengthy career of Andrew Weatherall has bubbled out to absorb its own universe.

A DJ whose sets can move from blistering techno to rockabilly, dub excursions to frenzied guitar bedlam, Weatherall remains pleasingly impossible to predict.

Teaming up with Byrd Out, an incoming 12 inch sluices together system culture, psych'd out electronics, and stabbing guitar lines.

The ‘Blue Bullet EP’ drops on August 24th, available digitally alongside limited vinyl and cassette drops.

We're able to premiere 'Making Friends With The Invader', a track that finds Andrew Weatherall's production augmented with guitar from Ride's own Andy Bell.

It's a nimble collaboration, with the sloping, dub-influenced bass line offset by sci-fi synth sounds and some echo chamber effects.

Subtly demolishing genre lines, 'Making Friends With The Invader' is a cosmic trip you'll want to absorb again and again.

Tune in now.
