I used
randel =: (? @: #) { ]
Your definition
rand =: randel bind l
does indeed work. I didn't know there was another bind op besides &,
which I now note is actually "bond".
How can I learn more about functions like bind that aren't on NuVoc?

Of course. Before investing months or years in J I want to believe it
makes the right trade-offs. J seems like it might make a great
scripting language, but some of the design decisions worry me: it seems
to have been intended for serious coding, which hobbles it for light
scripting.
When I find that I can't define a simple nullary function to produce a
random value, I worry about what other unpleasant surprises might be
down the pike.
Also, you did not provide a definition nor any examples for randel,
but I suspect that (rand =: randel bind l) will do what you are asking
for.
Good luck,
