Fabiana Palladino and Laura Groves feature on Joviale's forthcoming debut album, Mount Crystal

"HARK!" follows the release of the album’s debut single, "Moonshine", which featured James Mollison of Ezra Collective on saxophone. Speaking of the track, Joviale said: "some things don’t make sense, but we can still have fun in that uncertainty".

Joviale and contributors Fabiana Palladino and Laura Groves collaborated in recording sessions spread over various makeshift studio set-ups, including Joviale’s living room during a month-long stay in Barcelona. “We all have one thing in common, which is that we love to jam as musicians and love to have a stupid time and we will work from each other's houses,” says Joviale. “In this trio with John and Joshua, I felt very much in the lead; they'd be like, ‘we get it,’ and that's because we were able to jam through it.”

“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,” they explain.
