Australian-Mexican duo Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo have shared the video for their new track, “The Greatest Delight”, taken from their forthcoming album, Psychedelia in White, out on 4 September 2026 on white vinyl, CD and digitally. The track is about a “lover from another dimension”.
Amanda Acevedo descrives the new song as:
… a special one for me, and feels like my true writing style. I imagined the music in my head from the beginning, and when Mick started playing instruments to my melody, he captured exactly the feeling I wanted… but he took it to a whole other level. The finger picking acoustic guitar was a match made in heaven for the concept.
The new album was recorded primarily in Australia and mixed in Chile by Alain Johannes and will be followed by a tour with Mercury Rev in UK / Europe and a headline tour in Sweden and Norway, finishing at The 100 Club in London on 4 November – full details below.
Psychedelia in White is Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo’s third album together, and 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 album, including “mythology, love, hope, loss and mysticism”, but with a shift in musical style and including “an overarching theme of finding a safe space within the chaos and confusion of the outside world.”
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 came to life. In the five years since their original meeting, they have released two albums, and have toured extensively throughout Europe and Australia.
