LIMITED CLEAR VINYL RSD REISSUE
Recorded in Paris, in 1976, Visions of Dawn is the stunning 'lost' Brazilian acid-folk album by Joyce, Nana Vasconcelos and Mauricio Maestro.
First uncovered and released in 2009, the record transfixed Brazilian music lovers and fans of otherworldly psych-folk alike. Led by the sharp lyrics and gorgeous voice of a young Joyce, the trio is completed by the late great Brazilian percussion legend Nana Vasconcelos, and master arranger, producer and bassist Mauricio Maestro.
These beautiful, hazy and understated recordings offer a unique opportunity to sit in on the original sessions of tracks that would later become Brazilian cult-classics, such as uplifting samba-jazz opener 'Banana' and 'Clareana', a lullaby named after Joyce's daughters Clara and Ana. The trippiest moments come from 'Jardim Dos Deuces' (one of Frank Ocean's favourite tracks of all time) and the orgasmic album closer 'Chegeda'.
With vinyl copies increasingly scarce and hard to find, Far Out Recordings is bringing back this cult-classic for Record Store Day 2023 on limited edition clear vinyl.
