First gripping solo album

Ruben Block has been the frontman and driving composer of Triggerfinger since 1998. With their own brand of dark, heavy and somewhat rootsy rock they conquered an impressive amount of international territory. Now Block is on a new track, with his solo album Looking to Glide. Block is clearly having fun and is on a roll.

The album was recorded over a period of four years, both in Block's home studio in Antwerp and in the studio of producer Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Crowded House, Randy Newman) in Los Angeles. It became a cut-and-paste patchwork of ripping and mutilated guitars, looped drum grooves and surprising soundscapes.

The brand new single Turning On A Fan is the perfect proof of this. A hip-hop groove asks a huge guitar riff to dance and Block's dark voice calls you to order. The song creaks and squeaks, but stays firmly on both feet.
