Los Angeles-based duo Plasma Chasms, formed by Australian Jane Drewett and American Adrian Guerrero, have been bringing to life their shared sonic vision since their formation in 2020. Their debut single “Echoes” quickly introduced the world to their psychedelic rock blend, which strays from classic indie pop to add a retro, gritty and rhythmic garage twist, wrapped with psychedelic vibes.
Following up their debut single with three additional tracks, Plasma Chasms dropped their self-titled EP in 2022. The well-received EP led to an invitation to play at the International Pop Overthrow Festival in Los Angeles. Since then, the duo has spent the last year and a half crafting their first album, Chrysalis, promising to take listeners on a cosmic journey through various levels of psychedelic sonic spheres.
Building on the momentum from the album’s lead single “Psychedelic Carousel” in May, Plasma Chasms now bring us “Solaris,” the second single from their upcoming debut LP. “Solaris” immerses listeners in a conceptual cosmic elevator, transporting them to a psychedelic retro disco world where open-mindedness and positive vibes are essential.
Ushered in by the rattle of drums, vibrant instrumental tones set an immediate groove before airy vocals float above. With a vividly colourful arrangement, driven by the shuffle of drums and capped by catchy vocal leads, the band serves up a truly charming indie-galactic experience that’s sure to win over both new and old fans alike.
Both delicate and energetic in equal measure, the band manages to cast an accessible sound while exploring completely new sonic landscapes. Build on a lively disco-inflected drum beat and enveloped in shimmering instrumental layers, their vocals carry you on a spacey voyage of intoxicating melodic lines to craft an entirely transportive listening experience.
Playful, highly original and thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, their songwriting talent and performance panache shines brightly on this new jam. Continuing to build up the hype for their highly anticipated debut record, we can’t wait to see what other musical wonders Plasma Chasms have in store for the rest of this year and beyond.
Commenting on the single, they share, “Inspired by the desire to create an upbeat and happy sun-shiny song, we set out to create an opposite feeling to the one that’s permeated the last few years. Something hopeful and uplifting. Fun and creative while infecting the listener with toe tapping joy. Thematically it talks of letting loose and embracing open mindedness and positivity.”
