Faliks shows an ever deepening mastery of its dazzling world pop sound on Elvolution—a work that seamlessly melds influences from Bowie to belly dancing to the Irish bouzouki. The first track, "Electric Butterfly" is a surprisingly perfect blend of surf rock and traditional Middle Eastern music, while other tracks bring in glimmers of everything from disco to techno to classical Spanish guitar, but always maintain a stately pop grace and the exacting proportions of rhythm and melody for which they are known. A gorgeous, mostly instrumental album with some hauntingly lovely vocals woven throughout.
