Day 8 of our 2020 charity Advent Calendar, in aid of You Make It & Project Protect.
Bristol-based alternative-indie duo Jadu Heart produce a refreshing blend of tripped out psych-rock. Their sophomore album Hyper Romance is out now via VLF Records.
They generously contribute a transitory juncture of polychromatic dream pop, where pacy drum machine and distorted guitar riffs foster motion and zeal. Yet moonlit vocals reel in the track’s overall energy, dissipating a layer of calm throughout.
“Whilst we were writing our album last year we were having fun just messing with guitar amps and experimenting with tones. We loved the guitar tones we managed to get on the track but always saw it as an instrumental, so didn’t know where it would fit on the record. Glad it’s going to see some light of day”
This year we’ve chosen to split profits from the release between two charities, both of whom are doing important work within their respective fields.
The first charity is London-based organisation You Make It, a creative programme that offers young women access to tools, networks and experiences — group learning, 1-1 mentoring, work experience, start-up support and 1-1 pastoral support — giving them the confidence to transform their lives through personal empowerment.
The second is Nigeria-based initiative Project Protect, a subdivision of Burna Boy’s charitable NGO The Reach, launched to help provide financial, medical and legal resources for EndSars protestors during and after the protests.
