Broadcast 69 of Infinite Beat celebrates the new Felte Records release of The Mirage, a stunning new LP by Chasms. Chasms is a duo formed by Jess Labrador and Sky Madden which merges the ethereal with deep, dub-ladden basslines.
Their sophomore release was created "following major upheaval in the pair’s lives, including the loss of Madden's brother and a number of the band's friends in Oakland’s Ghost Ship warehouse fire in 2016. Compounded with the dissolution of a marriage, and leaving San Francisco after more than a decade to relocate to Los Angeles, the album is an exploration of grief and the multi-faceted heartbreak that follows such events. What we think we see, what we think we know to be true, how we think life will turn out, the plans we make – all reduced to an illusion when someone you expected to be alive tomorrow is gone, when plans fail, when the mask is removed, and you are left simply to be."
Vocalist/drummer/guitarist Jess Labrador provided a gorgeous exclusive mix for Infinite Beat and it is a joy to share the music that moves her. Enjoy.
