We've already had Hera on this blog with her single "Feels So Good"... a song that still gets plenty of airplay on Bitter FM. Hera Hjartardóttir was born in Iceland and moved to New Zealand in her early teens. She returned to Iceland regularly in the early part of her career and also recorded some material there (in English and Icelandic). Her use of facial art, which she applies before performances, is inspired by the Maori moko and Celtic warrior paint. Jed and Hera is a collaboration with fellow Christchurch musician Jed Parsons. They have developed into a much-loved folk duo around Christchurch and the rest of us are catching on. "Issues" is their new single - a bittersweet folk song with plenty of harmonies and even more character.
