"A truly interesting and beautiful sculpture of sound" Shanon Tate, Brooklyn Excelsior
If you've been to NYC, then you've most likely heard Heth and Jed's atmospheric music stylings echoing from the street corners and subway station walls. They've turned on millions to their unique sound, performing over 200 shows this year alone. Transforming public spaces into sound labs, the duo use live looping and explore sonic textures that bubble up into full on rock tunes that make you feel good. The duo delivers a sound somewhere betweens Keller Williams, Jack Johnson and Pink Floyd.
“Between the In and the Out”, the name of Heth & Jed's new CD, is a reference to the timeless state one experiences right after the body's exhale and right before it gathers it's next "in" breath. "
The siblings were in great hands throughout the recording. Producer Jamie Candiloro, who has worked with REM, Ryan Adams, Willie Nelson and The Eagles to name a few, guided and helped them create a daring and fun record. Grammy award winner, Darcy Proper, added the finishing touches when she mastered the disk at Sony Studios, New York.
