Portuguese psych folk and Tropicalia outfit Beautify Junkyards have teamed with synth folk artist Belbury Poly for a cover of The Incredible String Band's "Painting Box." The result is a track of English psych folk that plays as serenely in your headphone space in your bedroom as it would in a green, country meadow. Check it out below and pre-order the 7" here from Ghost Box.
I love, love, love it when i randomly come across some artist i've never heard of before who pulls from a plethora of different and amazing influences to create something that pulls me in full go. British group Beautify Junkyards gets that distinction today with their wonderful new album "The Invisible World of Beautify Junkyards." Combining elements of psych rock and folk, dreampop, and Tropicalia, the music floats and swirls and mystifies, coming in like the delirious house band for some enchanted garden in the British countryside. Watch the video for "Aquarius" below and get the record from Ghost Box.
