Jadu Heart
Jadu Heart are a Bristol, UK based multi-instrumental psych duo. In the summer of 2019, musicians Alex Headford and Diva Jeffrey released their debut album as Jadu Heart: ‘Melt Away’. The album was at the nexus of contemporary R&B, chillwave and the mind-bending canon of psychedelic rock. Where their 'Melt Away' era was signified by milky white rabbit masks worn at all times, in the aftermath of the album's release Headford and Jeffrey considered new possibilities for their next project: “We wanted to try something new, to be ourselves.” Newly supplanted in Bristol and writing in a basement filled with second-hand amplifiers and cheap distortion pedals, the duo remodeled their sound and put together the bones of what would become their second album; a collection of love songs exploring the balance between calm and chaos. Both born to artistic families, Headford and Jeffrey were naturally drawn to music from a young age. Gathering acclaim for their unique combination of visual arts and songwriting prowess, Jadu Heart’s early releases were co-signed by publications like i-D and Wonderland.
