Wooden Shjips V Zip
Followingtheir critically acclaimed 2013 debut album of gorgeous Psych Folk/Tropicáliacovers, Lisbon’s Beautify Junkyards return with more hauntologic andkaleidoscopic sunshine folk tales that shimmer with the beauty of a springmorning. Using the 60/70s Acid Folk influences/inspiration from the first albumas a template, The Beast Shouted Love is full of beautifully crafted originalsongs that have such a timeless air about them that they sound authentically traditionalyet so very modern.
The BeastShouted Love mines the same rich seams of Acid Folk that Beautify Junkyardsexplored on their first album, taking in influences from classic artists suchas Nick Drake, Donovan, Heron, Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs and……er…….Kraftwerkmixed with a hint of more modern Psych Folk acts like Soy Un Caballo, Espersand Tunng. Add to this exhilarating mix a generous helping of Os Mutantes-esqueTropicália, you then get not just an impressive record but an ethereal, magicaland transcendent experience. Opening the album with three exquisite pieces ofgiddy Acid Folk, ‘Sun Wheel Ceremony’, ‘Canterbury’ and ‘Rainbow Garland’, BeautifyJunkyards bring together acoustic guitars, gentle electronica, snippets offound sounds/field recordings and subtle percussion with the shimmering voicesof João Branco Kyron and Rita Vian, shaping a musical landscape that is bothfrom now and sometime circa 1969. The rest of the album is in the same vain, a skilfullyhewn mix of pastoral psychedelia with sun kissed Tropicália, where the old andthe new seamlessly blend together. There are some sublime moments here………………… thetrippy fairground swirl of ‘Tomorrow's Children’, the Folktronica groove of ‘RiteOf Passage’…….but nothing can really top ‘Drop City’ and ‘Valley Of Wonders’ whichare simply stunning, Acid Folk has never sounded so good. Now that BeautifyJunkyards are recording original material they are not restrained by anypreconceived ideas of how the songs should sound, The Beast Shouted Love is amelting pot of ideas and inspiration ………beautifully twisted but ever so accessible.This really is a fantastic Psych Folk album and wedoubt if there will be many betterrecords released this year.
