Felte

Felte is a music label that was started in Brooklyn by Jeff Owens, along with art director Philistine DSGN. Originally based in Brooklyn, the label has since relocated to Los Angeles. Felte specializes in moody, atmospheric, and texturally dynamic sounds and imagery.

Formed in 2011 in San Francisco, <en>Chasms</en> is the project of producer/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jess Labrador. Layering electronic drum samples and meditative guitars with entrancing soprano vocals, Labrador creates ethereal, percussive dirges often sparse in arrangement and potent with emotion.
The project's somber, rhythm-focused sound has evolved through the years to include elements of dub, techno, and ambient, expanding its initial melancholic mixture of industrial, shoegaze, and dream pop.
<en>Chasms</en>'s unique blend of genres sets them apart from their contemporaries. Drawing inspiration from artists such as The Truth About Frank and Ritual Howls, they create a captivating sonic experience that resonates with fans of experimental music. With each release pushing boundaries and exploring new territories within their soundscapes, <en>Chasms</en> continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Felte Records presents&nbsp;Glimpse Of Heaven&nbsp;– a stunning new&nbsp;album by the Hawaii-born, LA-based musician, singer, producer&nbsp;and professional mastering engineer Jess Labrador,&nbsp;AKA Chasms.

Labrador’s deeply personal work as Chasms has always felt like&nbsp;an unveiling. Following 2019’s ‘The Mirage,’ which was a dark,&nbsp;dubby meditation on grief and loss, this new album is both&nbsp;familiar and different. The third full-length under the Chasms&nbsp;name,&nbsp;Glimpse of Heaven&nbsp;trades in washes of reverb for&nbsp;starker moments of closeness and intimacy. An exploration of&nbsp;the personal inventory and reckoning necessary to move&nbsp;forward in life, the LP considers not only how we relate to the&nbsp;world, but more importantly how we relate to ourselves.

While always distinct, you could previously detect post-punk,&nbsp;shoegaze, and dub sensibilities in the music. Dreamy drift&nbsp;tethered by skittered beats, airy vocals, and melancholic&nbsp;melodies are here like previous efforts too. However, at the&nbsp;same time, Labrador steps into new territory with an expanse of&nbsp;vaporous synths and samples, adding to the project’s ethereal&nbsp;electronic pop and dubwise pulse. Lush guitars glisten&nbsp;throughout the album, but this time only in sparse, disciplined&nbsp;embellishments.&nbsp;Glimpse of Heaven&nbsp;is a fully realised version&nbsp;of Chasms beyond its influences; to say that this is a seamless&nbsp;evocation of such disparate sounds as Massive Attack, Basic&nbsp;Chanel, Sade, Seefeel and Dif Juz is to say it is wholly unique.&nbsp;While she continues to unfurl her thoughts, there is a shift from&nbsp;opening up to the listener toward allowing the listener to witness&nbsp;her opening to herself.
