Jess Chambers plays heart music: vignettes of emotions and scenes, elevated to art by a haunting and intimate voice and lush alt-country instrumentation.
After first making her name in the electronic scene through collaborations
with Rhian Sheehan, Module, and The Upbeats, Jess' debut solo album Jess
Chambers and the Firefly Orchestra (2008) was a return to the folk music
she closely identifies with. Jess' collaboration with a host of top musicians in
The Woolshed Sessions (2008) was similarly well-received by audiences and
reviewers alike – ‘Stringing Me Along’ received won the APRA Best NZ
Country Song in 2009.
Jess' new album, Desire, reflects her increasingly strong connection to American alt/folk-country music – The influence of Gothic folk artist Gillian Welch and country mainstays Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash linger in the dusty warmth of this latest collection of songs.

Desire is a beautiful album. Sparse and melodic it highlights the depth of talent that exists in New Zealand music. Lee Prebbles slide guitar perfectly accompanies Jess Chamber's haunting voice. I wish more kiwi singer-songwriter albums were as beautifully produced.
