Hearts and Bones

Hearts and Bones (Jay Tee and Vijay)

Jay Tee and Vijay have spent over 30 years each in the trenches of the UK underground dance music scene - not chasing trends, but following their ears wherever the music led. That kind of time leaves a mark. It builds something you can't fake: a deep, intuitive relationship with music in all its forms, and an understanding of what it does to people when it really lands.

Hearts and Bones is a different expression of that same musical soul. Drawing on the rich seam of sixties and seventies rock and roll, their sound traces a line from the jangly melodic magic of The Beatles and The Byrds, through the sun-soaked California harmonies of The Eagles and Crosby, Stills & Nash, to the bluesy soul of Van Morrison and the timeless emotional depth of Joni Mitchell.

Beautiful vocal harmonies, lazy guitars, and songs that carry the spirit of an era when rock and roll had poetry in its bones. Music that stops you mid-conversation, makes you close your eyes, and occasionally - unexpectedly - makes you cry.

Almost nobody plays this music out anymore. And that's exactly the point. After a weekend of thundering techno and pounding festival stages, Hearts and Bones offer something rarer - a moment to breathe, to feel, to come down beautifully. The perfect end to a festival weekend, and proof that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do on a stage is play something quiet and true.
