Big news: London’s very own Joviale is about to drop their first-ever full-length album, Mount Crystal, in 10 days. This isn’t just an album, though, it’s a whole world. Co-produced with John Carroll Kirby, Jkarri, and Kwaku Konadu, the record pulls together soul, funk, jazz, and rock into something that feels vibrant and unpredictable. Joviale originally dreamed it up as a play, which explains why the songs brim with drama, danger, and a kind of theatrical energy that stretches way beyond a typical tracklist. Sam Wilkes, Carter Lang, and Will Miller also helped bring Mount Crystal to life.
In Joviale’s own words: “Mount Crystal’s lore is driven by the embodiment of desire, danger, and desperation. A mirrored dimension in a distant reality where nothing is left unsaid. These chapters crave to tear apart the illusion of pleasure by alchemising the unrelenting pain I’ve experienced in my efforts to love, deny, and embrace the sweetest melodies with the sweetest friends.”
The 14-track project features previously released singles “Snow,” “HARK!,” “Let Me Down,” and “Moonshine.”
