Bristol-based multi-instrumental psych duo Jadu Heart have just shared their new single "Another Life," the first taste of their forthcoming second album due for release later this year. The song arrives ahead of the group's first ever US live dates next month in New York, Los Angeles, and Austin (see full dates below).

In the summer of 2019, musicians Alex Headford and Diva Jeffrey released their ambitious and expansive debut album as Jadu Heart, Melt Away. The album was at the nexus of contemporary R&B, chillwave, and mind-bending psychedelic rock. Whereas the visual aesthetic of the Melt Away era was embodied by the self-designed rabbit masks they wore in all public contexts, in the aftermath of the album Headford and Jeffrey considered new possibilities for the next stage of the duo.

"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. "'Another Life' is an introduction to that world," explains Jeffrey.

"It's representative of the evolution we've gone through, shedding our old skins and moving into new territory." With a sound that transcends decades, across jam-band psychedelia, 90's grunge and future electronica, the lyrics to "Another Life" riff on the idea that love transcends time. "It's about feeling so connected to someone that, although it may not be the right time for you in this lifetime, universe, dimension or whatever you want to call it, you will always share an affinity with them."

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. Originally based in a North London guardianship, the pair relocated to Bristol after falling in love with the city late last year. Having since abandoned their fictional personas from their Melt Away era, Jadu Heart are confronting 2020 head-on: "We realised that was how we could properly tell the story of this record."
