Nova by Beautify Junkyards is out now on LP, CD and Digital. Beautifully languid, dreamlike, psychedelic pop with some very special guest artists.

The hole left by the late Trish Keenan's hauntologic pop project Broadcast feels greater and more profound by the day. Unusually, the group who come closest to filling it is a band from Lisbon. On Nova, Beautify Junkyards lean further into the sampleadelic, accentuating their bleary psych with florid sound design and hallucinatory textures.
UNCUT

This exceptional Portuguese cosmic folk outfit may be the best band you’ve never heard of.... An enjoyable recording from this talented group. Highly recommended!
The Big Takeover

...the more melodic end of the 'hauntological' genre scale with their mix of troplcalia, '60s pop and warm synth tones
Mojo

Latin rhythms, electronic fizzles and melodies that flit like an elusive butterfly, playfully refusing to be pinned down.
Electronic Sound

On their fifth studio album, Portuguese collective Beautify Junkyards delve deeper into electronic abstraction and forge a sound that's richer, more nuanced and enticing than ever before.
Shindig

The songs on the record have a siren-like effect, but rather than luring a listener into danger, it’s more like an enrapturing ride through a window into one’s own reveries.
It's Psychedelic Baby

Paul Weller sings and plays guitar on the co-written song, “Sister Moon”. Dorothy Moskowitz (of United States of America) co-wrote and sings on “Turn the Tide”.  Jesse Chandler (of Pneumatic Tubes, Midlake and Mercury Rev) contributes flute on “Groundstar”
