Book of Beyond is the new album from psychedelic instrumental trio numün, following their 2020 debut Voyage Au Soleil. On the album, the trio of SUSS’s Bob Holmes and Gamelan Dharma Swara’s Joel Mellin and Christopher Romero explore personal and spiritual themes including new fatherhood, sleep deprivation, loss and rebirth. As with their previous record, Book of Beyond fuses Eastern and Western musical stylings and instrumentation.

Book of Beyond is out now through Shimmy-Disc on a run of 666 cerulean blue LPs. For a celestial taste of what’s on offer, listen to ‘Steps’. Joel Mellin shared his thoughts about the track:

“You can’t will it to happen. But just past where you’ve been, Vespers is that time of day when words like possible and hopeful are feelings on your fingers, your arms, or through your hair just for a second. Like a book of hours is a guidebook for the day, the Book of Beyond is a memoir we hope captures those feelings stretching just past where you are. I don’t know – maybe you can will it to happen.”

‘Steps’ is offered with an accompanying video made by the trio’s own Joel Mellin. Watch it below.
