London-based multidisciplinary artist Joviale has announced their debut full-length album Mount Crystal, set for release on September 12 via Ghostly International.

Alongside the announcement, Joviale has also released 'HARK!', the latest single from the upcoming project following the debut track 'Moonshine'. 'HARK!' features a blend of sinister funk and theatrical energy, inspired by Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

The upcoming record blends soulful, electric pop with jazz, funk and experimental rock. Collaborators on the album include Sam Wilkes, Carter Lang and Will Miller, with recording sessions taking place in various makeshift studio setups, including Joviale’s Barcelona living room.

"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," said Joviale.

"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," added the artist.

Taking inspiration from artists such as Sade, Prince and Janet Jackson, the record is a demonstration of Joviale’s emergence as a distinctive new voice in the experimental pop scene.
