New on Ghost Box, Portugal s Beautify Junkyards release their fourth album, a rich and many-faceted thing, according to Will Salmon
A cosmorama, in case you were wondering, is an exhibitionthat uses lights, mirrors and different perspectives to display images from far-flung parts of the world. In the case of Portuguese band Beautify Junkyards fourth album, it feels like an apt metaphor for a record that moves briskly between the different facets of their sound.
Where their 2018 release,
The Invisible World Of Beautify Junkyards, had an earthy, folksy vibe,
Cosmorama is grander in scope. It’s more sonically adventurous and features a clutch of cameos from like-minded artists.
