Beautify Junkyards

Lush, pastoral psych-folk that feels like a lost 1970s film soundtrack. Shimmering synths meet acoustic guitars for a hazy, botanical daydream.

Intro

Beautify Junkyards sound like a secret garden where the plants have learned to play vintage synthesizers. Their music is a delicate tapestry of acoustic fingerpicking, breathy vocal harmonies, and warm, bubbling electronics that evoke a sense of 'hauntology' - a nostalgia for a future that never quite happened. It is deeply atmospheric, carrying the damp, green scent of a Portuguese forest mixed with the cosmic dust of a German laboratory.

What truly sets them apart is their ability to bridge the gap between the earthy and the ethereal. They take the DNA of British acid folk and infuse it with the rhythmic playfulness of Brazilian Tropicália, then wrap the whole thing in a gauzy, psychedelic haze. The interplay between João Branco Kyron and Rita Vian’s vocals creates a spectral, intimate presence that feels like being told a beautiful secret.

Start with 'Cosmorama' to experience their most polished and expansive vision. It is an album that rewards deep listening, revealing hidden layers of cello, flute, and field recordings that make the music feel alive and breathing. It is the perfect companion for moments of quiet wonder or creative solitude.

Beautify Junkyards are a Portuguese group influenced by English acid folk, Brazilian Tropicália and contemporary electronica.
