LIST PICK
JOVIALE SNOW
With the arrival of their debut album Mount Crystal just around the corner, London-based polymath Joviale shares another dazzling preview in 'Snow'. Appropriately twinkly, the tender two-and-a-half-minute track writhes beneath Joviale's vulnerable lyricism as they explain: "This song is an exercise in tension and sensuality. Do you know what it is like to love someone who makes you feel cold inside?" Making something truly beautiful out of what sounds like a difficult situation (a conclusion we've drawn from the matter of fact final line 'there's nothing harder'), Joviale continues to create and elevate, making music that's undeniably them. Having been fans of their work since 2020(ish), we can't wait for the rest of Mount Crystal - coming out via Ghostly International on the 12th of September. -Holly Mullineaux
