When Mexican singer and filmmaker, Amanda Acevedo, and founding member of The Birthday Party and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Mick Harvey, met several years ago, they had no idea they would eventually be travelling the world together.Mick was touring with his regular collaborator P.J. Harvey in Mexico City at the time, with the pandemic yet to hit. ���Fast forward to 2021, with lockdown in full swing, Mick and Amanda began to share creative ideas and musical notions between Australia and Mexico. Acevedo suggested the pair collaborate on an album of duets, and the rest is sweet history.
Over 18 months they created Phantasmagoria in Blue, a 14-track album of duets, with Harvey and Acevedo bringing new life to songs which were sourced from existing duets, songs that were never intended as duets, translations from Spanish, songs sung in Spanish, and a sprinkling of original compositions.
Harvey explains, “We aimed big, I wanted it to be a big production to match the level of ambition in the whole idea. I think it’s one of the best things I’ve been involved in, for a long time”.
