Following their recent work with Swervedriver, Outer Battery Records is thrilled to announce the release of Loneliness For Sale, a brand-new EP from an exciting trans-European collaboration.
Starting as all great bands should, Nord Electric was born in 2022 out of a deep love for music and football, following regular discussions between Ride’s Mark Gardener (Oxford United) and guitarist Giulio Sangiraldi (Bologna FC).
Soon after meeting, Gardener lent vocals to two tracks by Sangiraldi’s respected Italian shoegaze outfit, Votiva Lux, and in doing so proved that the chemistry was unquestionable. With a project required to extend their sonic journey, Nord Electric marks the beginning of an exciting new alliance between iconic voices of shoegaze, guitar pop, and alternative rock. And on their debut EP, Loneliness For Sale, we catch a glimpse of four stellar tracks that blend shimmering guitars, dreamlike textures, and rich vocals.
The addition of legendary drummer, Neil Conti (Prefab Sprout, David Bowie, Mick Jagger), proved to be the final piece in the puzzle. Providing an unmistakable groove to the proceedings on new single and title-track, ‘Loneliness For Sale’, Nord Electric offer soaring and addictive attacks with choruses destined to rest in your head for days.
Loneliness for Sale will be pressed limited edition white vinyl, and an exclusive blue vinyl version (limited to 300 copies) online through Outer Battery Records here ahead of its official worldwide release on 12th September 2025.
