Jed and Lucia "Superhuman Heart" LP

Like the distant cousins of Jose Gonzales and Boards of Canada, Jed and
Lucia’s songs have a pastoral sensibility that has been warped
by their love for electronics. “Superhuman Heart”
is a kaleidoscope of tunes dreamed-up and recorded in the hills, parks
and woods of North Berkeley. Their vocal harmonies smack of classic
1960s Cali-pop, but Jed and Lucia’s acoustic guitars and
poignant lyrics are subverted by sun-drenched synths and bass lines that
add a subtle dose of urban bump and grind. Folksy songs are transformed by acid-tripped atmospherics in a soundtrack for creatures that crawl from the back woods into the city at nightfall.
