I always end up writing about music I find difficult to explain, but the bottom line is: Listen to Jules Reidy, and go see them at Constellation. The combo of microtonal guitar, Auto-Tuned vocals, serene melodies, and chaotic rhythms really does something special. chicagoreader.com/music/concer...
Guitarist Jules Reidy makes songs that mirror the ecstatic liminality of surrendering to love - Chicago Reader
Jules Reidy’s lush, disorienting songs juxtapose serene melodies with unpredictable and often unmetered rhythms.
