The Beauty in Distortion / The Land of the Lost

Eighteen years after its original release, J*Davey’s landmark debut double album The Beauty in Distortion / The Land of the Lost arrives on vinyl for the very first time.

It’s a key release in the duo’s catalogue, and one that still feels vital. Quietly but clearly, this record helped shape the mid-2000s conversation around experimental R&B, alternative, new wave, and Avant-garde Black music.

This first vinyl pressing gives a long-overdue physical form to a release that has continued to resonate with listeners drawn to boundary-pushing pop and leftfield soul.
