Felte Records presents Glimpse Of Heaven a stunning newalbum by the Hawaii-born, LA-based musician, singer, producerand professional mastering engineer Jess Labrador,AKA Chasms.

Labradors deeply personal work as Chasms has always felt likean unveiling. Following 2019s The Mirage, which was a dark,dubby meditation on grief and loss, this new album is bothfamiliar and different. The third full-length under the Chasmsname, Glimpse of Heaventrades in washes of reverb forstarker moments of closeness and intimacy. An exploration ofthe personal inventory and reckoning necessary to moveforward in life, the LP considers not only how we relate to theworld, but more importantly how we relate to ourselves.

While always distinct, you could previously detect post-punk,shoegaze, and dub sensibilities in the music. Dreamy drifttethered by skittered beats, airy vocals, and melancholicmelodies are here like previous efforts too. However, at thesame time, Labrador steps into new territory with an expanse ofvaporous synths and samples, adding to the projects etherealelectronic pop and dubwise pulse. Lush guitars glistenthroughout the album, but this time only in sparse, disciplinedembellishments. Glimpse of Heavenis a fully realised versionof Chasms beyond its influences; to say that this is a seamlessevocation of such disparate sounds as Massive Attack, BasicChanel, Sade, Seefeel and Dif Juz is to say it is wholly unique.While she continues to unfurl her thoughts, there is a shift fromopening up to the listener toward allowing the listener to witnessher opening to herself.
