- The Bristol trio brought a second vocalist into the fold for the recording of their LP.
Jabu will release their debut album, Sleep Heavy, via Blackest Ever Black in September.
The LP pairs an R&B sensibility with atmospheric electronics. It's a "meditation on grief, on loss, making sense of separation and death," the label says. Jabu cite Massive Attack, The Temptations and Cocteau Twins as influences.
The group, which consists of vocalists Alex Rendall and newly-recruited Jasmine Butt alongside producer Amos Childs, grew from the Bristol collective Young Echo. Last year they released a mini-album under the name O$VMV$M, which is their project with fellow Bristolian Neek. They've also had a couple of 7-inches for No Corner, and an EP for Ramp before that.
