Album Review: Beyond The Wizards Sleeve - The Soft Bounce

Erol Alkan and Richard Norris unleash their second album, which follows on from the psychedelic grooves of Ark 1 that was released some eight years ago.

Their previous work featured seamless cut-ups and mash-ups and revealed a fascination for '60s psychedelic pop and dreamy, under the influence vibes. Soft Bounce finds the duo moving in the same direction but delivering original composition with a roster of guest vocalists that includes Holly Miranda and Jon Savage. An epic album that shifts across upbeat flower powered ye-ye that pops to irresistible beats and hypnotic and hallucinatory ambiences that drift into another dimension.
