Jed and Lucia love the sound of vibrating strings stretched over warped wooden boxes, resontating objects struck with meditative love, tuned circuits evolving from silence, and orchestras gently mangled to the point of unrecognizability. These are the sounds that bring their songs to life. Jed and Lucia come from two distinctly different but complementary songwriting traditions. Jed being from the Pacific Northwest and Lucia hailing from Sweden, their collective voice is one of Seattle and Stockhom finding common musical ground. Playing host to this experiment is Southern California, where the naturally cold and rain-drenched angst of the two songwriters has been set out to dry beneath the relentless sun. The two can be found sitting on their porch in the old civil war stagecoach stop of Chatsworth Lake, hidden away in the mountains on the far Northwestern border of Los Angeles without a streetlight or established property line in sight. The original home of the Lone Ranger and current home of The Hells Angels and at least one survivalist cult, its Topanga Canyon with guns and horses, landing on the border of L.A. county and Ventura so that neither police department will claim it to be within their jurisdiction. Its a place condusive to creating outside the norm, and where Jed and Lucia first fused their abstract folk with electronically organic beats and soundscapes. Their sound comes from somewhere between Stina Nordenstam, Caribou, Iron and Wine, Masha Qrella, Magnet, Andrew Bird, Joseph Arthur, Azure Ray, Jack Johnson, Mia Doi Todd, William Oldham, Feist, Inara George, Lemon Jelly, M Ward, Rachael Yamagata, Meshuggah, Kings of Convenience, Anna Ternheim, and The Be Good Tanyas.
