Captured in part at the West Hill Studio, the album is an evocative and polychromatic display of sight and sound, one where Arabian strings riding a desert wind dub skank give way to passages of cinematic folk funk, or elsewhere to sections of pompous progressive rock and angular jazz fusion. And as with Parbleu’s first LP "Danse Cette Zik", there is an awe-inspiring display of vocal talent across "Elios", as soft-soul seances, choral pop communions, 60s soundtrack spirituals, Italo diva poetics, and intoxicating call-and-response spells rain down over the mystical melodies and dancefloor dynamite.
STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: What a bright, psychedelic wonder this is. Spritely synth-jazz hooks and deep beachy percussion all topped with athletic soulful vocals. High tempo disco, with hypnotic psychedelic groove. It sounds how the cover looks : excellent.TRACK LISTING
