Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo will release their new album, Psychedelia in White September 4 2026 via Mute, on white vinyl, CD and digitally. The release will be followed by tour dates with Mercury Rev in UK / Europe and a headline tour in Sweden and Norway. The LP was recorded mostly in Australia and mixed in Chile by Alain Johannes.

Psychedelia in White is Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo’s third album together, and is the follow up to Phantasmagoria in Blue. Where the duo’s debut, and their second release, Golden Mirrors (The Uncovered Sessions Vol. 1) were predominately reinterpretations, for this album, the duo have recorded seven tracks of original material exploring some of the themes from their debut – mythology, love, hope, loss and mysticism – but with a distinct shift in musical style and an overarching theme of finding a safe space within the chaos and confusion of the outside world.

Amanda explains, “I wrote the lyrics of “Perfect Storm” after Peter McNestry sent me an early instrumental of his composition with that title. His music took my imagination to a very specific place, and it was easy for me to know what I needed to write. It’s a journey and a statement of confidence and playfulness, mixed with a dark stormy feeling. The Storm starts to develop slowly and as it grows and grows its presence becomes impossible to ignore.”

Mick goes on to say, “This was created a couple of years back by Amanda and a Canadian called Peter McNestry who runs a musical excursion called Pink Elephants. They made the track through file exchanges, and once we decided to include it on the album project, I worked extensively on the original recordings adding guitars, sound effects and backing vocals.”

Amanda Acevedo met Mick Harvey several years ago in Mexico City while Harvey was on tour with P.J. Harvey, but it wasn’t until 2021 that their current project burst into life. In the five years since their original meeting, they have released two albums, toured extensively throughout Europe and Australia and, as this kaleidoscopic album attests, the duo’s songwriting journey is set to leave in indelible imprint on all who hop on board the adventure.
