The Sky Is Mine
Don't Touch
CHILL OUT
This is ALPHA’s eighth album but is their first ’vocal’ album since 2003’s ’Stargazing’ and is released on their own imprint Don’t Touch Recordings.
Just as their debut ’Come From Heaven’ (released on MASSIVE ATTACK’s MELANKOLIC label) was widely acknowledged as a classic collection of trembling torch songs, so this album develops that strand dramatically further. Whilst still deploying their skills for gentle experimentation, Alpha have tunnelled their sound out to a bolder, brassier landscape with Wendy often belting out her melancholic choruses like one of her heroes, SHIRLEY BASSEY.
THE GUARDIAN “Alpha are a Bristol outfit responsible for two of the most remarkable songs of the 90s in ’Wise’ and ’Sometime Later’, better than anything Portishead, Tricky or Massive Attack ever released - track them down right now, they’re pure molten beauty.”
