Song Premiere

Listen to Public Memory’s Cavernous, Dubbed-Out Take on Chasms’ “Shadow”

Chasms are still riding the waves of their excellent release The Mirage, the band’s second and most ethereal, effective LP yet. While the album continues to send shivers down our spine, we’re equally honored to premiere an exclusive version of “Shadow,” created by Felte labelmate Public Memory.

The track expands on the original version’s slithering, celestial soundscape, layering deep synth melodies, shimmering guitars, and throbbing bass and making delicious use of space, movement, and echo. The track ripens over the course of six-and-a-half minutes (just a few seconds shy of the original), with no groove wasted and no texture left unexplored. As such, the track is the perfect blend of both projects, a match made in aural heaven.

Chasms are also set to resume their tour this week, appearing in Chicago, Montreal, and New York, among other cities. A handful of dates will find the band performing with Choir Boy, while the majority of the shows will also feature labelmate Devon Church, touring behind 2018’s haunting We Are Inextricable. Check below for the full list of dates.
