A multidisciplinary artist from North London, they came up as a theater kid and now harness their prismatic creative expression across mediums, fusing components of visual art, performance, and recording into a singular world. In 2021, following their Hurricane Belle EP, which caught the attention of Pitchfork and Crack Magazine, they quietly receded from view in an effort to evolve and hone their skills as a writer and producer. In 2025, out from behind the curtains comes Mount Crystal, their full-length debut on Ghostly International, an ascendant conceptual album that reintroduces Joviale’s point of view. Songs are electric and soulful, dashed with jazzy experimentation, rhythmic rock, and vibrant sound design, all realized alongside co-producers John Carroll Kirby and Jkarri and a cast of collaborators, including Sam Wilkes, Carter Lang, and Will Miller, among others.

A mirrored dimension in a distant reality where nothing is left unsaid.

Co-producer John Carroll Kirby (Steve Lacy, Frank Ocean, Solange, Kacey Musgraves) became the American cop investigator tracking a series of murders in a strange British hotel. Joviale and contributors Fabiana Palladino and Laura Groves are entertainers at the hotel; co-producer Joshua Gaskin-Brown, aka Jkarri (PinkPantheress, Nia Archives, Bel Cobain, Natanya), is the resident handyman always at work in the periphery, and so on. The loose framework immediately set a relaxed, anything-goes mentality to 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.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoviale’s personality reverberates across Mount Crystal’s densely detailed world.

The antithesis of background music, these songs leap from headphones much like an engrossing movie makes itself known on screen. Joviale’s sonic references span Sade, Kate Bush, Janet Jackson, Todd Rundgren, ‘60s girls groups, Japanese composers, and “the freaky guys and girls and the divas of the ‘80s…glamorous rock’n’roll, Rick James, Prince, Quincy.” Artists who prioritized playful ambition and bravado...\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Joviale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Ghostly International\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecat no : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGI452lp-C1 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-08-30T10:49:27+09:00","created_at":"2025-08-29T11:21:39+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["folk \/ left-field pop","ghostly international","hiphop \/ funk","lp","new"],"price":378900,"price_min":378900,"price_max":378900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47666390008058,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Joviale \/\/ Mount Crystal LP [COLOR]","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":378900,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"804297845234","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jov1.jpg?v=1756433939","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jov2.jpg?v=1756433940"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jov1.jpg?v=1756433939","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":36676774658298,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jov1.jpg?v=1756433939"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jov1.jpg?v=1756433939","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":36676774691066,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jov2.jpg?v=1756433940"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jov2.jpg?v=1756433940","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eイギリス・ロンドンのR\u0026amp;B作家Jovialeが、2025年9月にアメリカの老舗レーベルGhotsly Internationalからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eエレクトロニック・ポップ〜コンテンポラリーR\u0026amp;B14曲を収録。ダークブルー盤です。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2189607369\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/ghostly\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/ghostly\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Ghostly International releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" 'electric periwinkle' color vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
