Inspired by Victorian London's "Cosmorama Rooms" and works such as "Movie Drome" by American experimental filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek, the band performs live in a room where multiple video projectors show several specially made videos in parallel.

As interludes to the band's performance, visual-surrealist-poems were created with the special participation of American (UK based) writer/performer Justin Hopper, author of the acclaimed "Old Weird Albion" and regular contributor to Ghost Box Records, the British cult label to which Beautify Junkyards are also linked.

It should be noted that the audio of the band's performance was entirely captured live, on multi-track, without any additional recording.

The movie was made by the Lisbon production company Maus da Fita and the sound was captured and mixed by engineer Artur David.

About the album "COSMORAMA"
(released in 2021 on Ghost Box Records)

A song like “Cosmorama”, with its ornate folksiness, glistening with steel strings is as lush as the sextet’s ever been; the glitchy electronics that introduce “Reverie” immediately transport the song to other zones.
(4/5) UNCUT

Beautify Junkyards have created a world of their own: lose yourself in it.
(4/5) SHINDIG

‘Cosmorama’ takes the aesthetic of the previous record and sharpens it into something even more vivid and evocative....their most affecting record to date.
ELECTRONIC SOUND

"There´s a inbuilt timelessness about to Beautify Junkyards´work, with their verdant electric-acoustic Eden created amid a framework of classic pop onto which they apply tropicália, acid folk and shoegaze
....Cosmorama´s 11 songs work as a manifesto for both group and label"
