"Shape-shifting dream-rock duo deliver blissed-out beauty" - UNCUT
--
Today, the London-based duo Jadu Heart (Diva Jeffrey and Alex Headford) release their highly anticipated third album Derealised. An Uncut review reads the "Shape-shifting dream-rock duo deliver blissed-out beauty", while Crack Magazine notes an album “full of fun influences”. Their towering single "I Shimmer" sits A List at 6 Music while most recent track "Freedom" has just jumped onto the B List.
Additional support has come from a range of highly respected publications including The Fader, The Times, Rough Trade, The New Cue, CLASH, R&N, Electronic Sound, Time Out, The Independent and more. The album was self recorded and produced in full from their home in Stoke Newington. Having now notched up north of 200 million streams and nearly 2 million Spotify monthly listeners, Jadu Heart stand as one of the most exciting prospects on the cusp of mainstream success.
Jadu Heart kick off their headline tour with Rough Trade Instores in London (Jan 21) and Bristol (Jan 22) before heading over to the US for the first time - With over 100 million streams in North America they come in high demand. They return for their UK dates in March before moving on to play several dates in Europe.
Derealised was written as an antidote to - and growing acceptance of - a baffling and dispassionate world. It is a celebration of humanity despite all of its failings. The album capures the them accepting “that the world is a weird fucking place” rather than fighting against the feelings. One of the mental health issues the pair suffered from and then came to understand, derealisation, gives the new album its title.
Jadu Heart’s third album Derealised is out today (January 20) via VLF Records.
