| The duo of Mark Reveley and Emma Lucia make music under the name Jed and |
| Lucia and together they cook up a heavily sedated, laid-back-to-the- |
| point-of-paralysis mixture of beardy folk guitars and vocal harmonies, |
| with drifting electronic textures and dinky drum machines that straddles |
| the fine line between indie folk introspection and bedroom electronic |
| experiments. Superhuman Heart is their second album, and itÆs a bit of |
| an under-the-radar gem. Definitely not the kind of record to grab you by |
| the collar and demand your attention, itÆs more of a creeper that slowly |
| insinuates itself into your head as it plays on. The duo wrap their |
| fragile voices around slight but effective melodies and bathe them in |
| waves of electronic hum and echoes that surround you with a feeling of |
| warmth. The tempo of the songs never goes above a shuffle and the volume |
| is determinedly low; they create a perfectly comfortable mood from the |
| beginning and never deviate. While that can lead to a monotonous listen |
| in the wrong hands, Reveley and Lucia take pains to add so many layers |
| to the songs, you canÆt help but be drawn in. The quiet mystery of the |
| vocals also draws you in closely; Lucia especially has the kind of voice |
| that sounds perfect weaving its way through a dream hop soundscape or |
| emoting tenderly on a folky ballad (like the sweetly insistent "On |
| Lockdown"). There are also a couple of songs that shift the relaxed mood |
| just enough to add some intensity and drama to the album, especially the |
| surging, cinematic ôCircle of Stoneö and the almost danceable ôThe |
| Park.ö Like a low-key version of Koushik or a calm Caribou, Jed and |
| Lucia create magic out of elements that really have no right being |
| melded together. If youÆre lucky enough to hear it, Superhuman Heart |
| will be the perfect soundtrack to your lazy autumn days and peaceful- |
| anytime nights. |
