The album was released in May 2017 on Mr Bongo to critical acclaim:
“Weird and wonderful Brazilian grooves” The Guardian
“’Spirit Reflection’ entrances with its delicate, gossamer vocals drizzled over dreamy, summery soundscapes. This could be 2017's answer to Bebel Gilberto's ‘Taanto Tempo’” Record Collector
“Jazzy, electronic folk, bossa nova sway and Tropicalia weirdness impress” Mojo
Album Of The Week on Jazz FM

Blige, Bilal, Seu Jorge, and Thundercat amongst others – delivers a beautiful ‘strings & vocal’ mix.
Natureboy Flako, Chilean-born producer extraordinaire currently residing in Berlin via LA remixes Lo Mas Dulce and takes it on a percussion-heavy G-Funk tip.
UK lo-fi/deep house producer Greymatter flips Super Nova Lovers into a slow motion, spaced-out, beatdown monster.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
