DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
What an EP we have for you here! Mark Gardener from Ride teams up with Giulio Sangirardi of long-time Italian Shoegaze band Votiva Lux to form Nord Electric. Bringing in Neil Conti (Prefab Sprout, Mick Jagger, David Bowie) on drums, Nord Electric's debut EP is the catchiest thing you'll hear all year.

It all started, as all great bands should, over the love of both music and football! When Mark Gardener first teamed up with members of long time Italian Shoegaze band Votiva Lux, the conversation moved quickly from music to football, with Mark (Oxford United) and Giulio (Bologna FC) debating the outcome if an unlikely European derby happened between their teams. 

Until that day comes, music will remain their primary connection, with a collaboration that began in 2022 with Mark singing on two Votiva Lux tracks and continues to this day with Nord Electric. Mark’s vocals were, as expected, stellar on the Votiva Lux tracks, but it became clear that this collaboration needed to go to the next level, and thus Nord Electric was born.

The first step involved bringing in Neil Conti, Prefab Sprout’s drummer, and a man who has held down the beat with everyone from David Bowie to Mick Jagger and more. The first song they recorded, Loneliness for Sale, has a chorus that will be stuck in your head for the rest of the year, and with that song they knew they were creating something special. 3 more tracks quickly followed, collected here as Nord Electric’s debut 4 song EP. Pressed on white vinyl, this limited EP is just the beginning for your new favourite band!
