Joyce - Visions of Dawn Vinyl Reissue
In other Joyce news, we're reissuing Joyce's gorgeous Visions of Dawn album...
Recorded in Paris, in 1976, Visions of Dawn is the stunning ‘lost’ Brazilian acid-folk album by Joyce, Nana Vasconcelos and Mauricio Maestro.
First uncovered and released in 2009, the record transfixed Brazilian music lovers and fans of otherworldly psych-folk alike. The beautiful recordings offer a unique opportunity to sit in on the original sessions of tracks that would later become Brazilian cult-classics, like swinging samba-jazz opener 'Banana' and 'Clareana', a lullaby named after Joyce's daughters Clara and Ana. The trippiest moments come from 'Jardim Dos Deuces' (one of Frank Ocean's favourite tracks of all time) and the orgasmic album closer 'Chegada'.
Having been out of print for years, Visions of Dawn is getting a much deserved vinyl repress. When the album was last repressed a few years ago, it sold out immediately. So be sure to pre-order to avoid missing out this time!
