The wait has been more than long enough for new material (a full album\u2019s worth!) from P\u00e9rok\u00e9, the duo of Fred Guillon and Sylvain Rousselle from Tours, France. Their last release was the EP Voodoo You Think You Are !?<\/em><\/strong><\/a> In 2018, and it was an absolute killer, flaunting the ass-kicking vitality of the pair\u2019s sturdy, electro-centric interpretation of Afrobeat, Ethiopian jazz-funk and a bit of glittery Bollywood filmi. P\u00e9rok\u00e9 have spread their wings a bit more this time, weaving in some tracks that reach beyond the formula of xylophonic African beats and eerie Eastern scales\u2013there are hints of Italian giallo<\/em> horror-synth sounds, and closer \u201cThe Void\u201d has a grand, retro sci-fi feel, that particular space-rock vibe the French excel at. While the album is mostly instrumental, two tracks bring in, and benefit greatly from, guest singers. \u201cYabaah\u201d, with Hend Elrawy and Anissa Bensalah, is a tasty midtempo shuffler, while the Indian-flavoured \u201cJag Jangaal\u201d marks the return of Tulika Srivastava, whose expressive singing helped put \u201cSaajan Ki Motor-Cycle\u201d, the standout jam from the 2018 EP, right over the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
