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.
UNCUT

Beautify Junkyards have created a world of their own: lose yourself in it.
Shindig

...wonderful record, one you will not soon forget as it takes its early place among the best releases of 2021
The Big Takeover

Astonishing stuff.
We Are Cult

Os Beautify Junkyards recombinam com autoridade escolástica, reinventam com experiência funda de quem já leva muitos anos a explorar a magia que o som pode traduzir. E logo no arranque do ano deixam uma marca tao forte que, certamente, será lembrada por muitos meses
Rimas&Batidas

"The album opens with the kind of swirling sound effect that old movies and TV shows would use to signify a flashback or a dream... Is this paradise? A hallucination? Nightmare? Best just to enjoy it while you're here."
Brooklyn Vegan

"...o presente ilumina-se no passado e o passado ressurge, transformado, para ajudar a desenhar os futuros em construção. Entramos em Cosmorama e percebemos: deslumbra e ilumina"
Ipsilon
