Hello,
The new album from Lisbon's Beautify Jukyards, Cosmorama is available for pre-order now and will be released on LP, CD & Digital on 15th January 2021. It's a beautifully crafted and lavishly produced adventure into tropicalia tinged psychedelic dream pop. Like a hallucinogenic fusion of Os Mutantes and Broadcast.
It's music deeply influenced by Portuguese and Brazilian vocal traditions. Gauzy layers of male and female vocals shift dreamlike against a backdrop of masterly acoustic musicianship, complex percussion and haunted electronics, making this album perfectly at home in the world of Ghost Box records.
Joining the band as writing and performing collaborators on Cosmorama are: Nina Miranda (of Smoke City fame) on vocals on the title track and on Reverie and Parangolé, Alison Bryce of NYC’s Lake Ruth on vocals on Deep Green and classical & contemporary harpist Eduardo Raon on A Garden by the Sea and The Fountain.
Sumptuous artwork as always is by Ghost Box Records in house designer, Julian House. The LP version is on heavyweight vinyl, with full colour inner sleeve and a free download code card.
Meanwhile the astounding Invisible World of Beautify Junkyards is still available from Ghost Box on LP and download.
Anything but invisible, it's a bewitching album that you'll warm
to immediately.
