Beautify Junkyards

The fourth album for the Lisbon based band and their second on Ghost Box following on from The Invisible World of Beautify Junkyards in 2018.

Joining the band as writing and performing collaborators on Cosmorama are: Nina Miranda (of Smoke City) 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.

Released on 15th January on all digital channels, CD and heavyweight vinyl LP. Beautiful artwork is by
Ghost Box Records in house designer, Julian House. The LP version comes with a free download code card.

It’s a strange, rewarding album, rich with depth and texture. There’s crepuscular gloom here, for sure, but also warmth and beauty. Released in the freezing darkness of January, Cosmorama nevertheless looks forward to spring.
Quietus

A song like “Cosmorama”, with its ornate folksiness, glistening with steel strings is as lush as the sextet’s ever been; the glitchy electronics that introduce “Reverie” immediately transport the song to other zones.
