Strap in for a mind-bending journey through time and space with Plasma Chasms’ latest single, “Interstellar Baby.” This Los Angeles-based duo has crafted a sonic rocket ship that blasts off from the retro launchpad of the ’70s and soars into the psychedelic stratosphere of tomorrow.
Formed in 2020 by Australian Jane Drewett and American Adrian Guerrero, Plasma Chasms have been steadily building buzz with their unique blend of indie rock and neo-psychedelia. Their self-titled EP in 2022 was just a taste of what was to come, and now with “Interstellar Baby,” they’ve kicked things into hyperdrive.
From the moment the track starts, you’re transported to a retro summer night, dancing under a canopy of stars. The infectious Latin percussion and funky bassline create an irresistible groove that’ll have you moving before you know it. But don’t let the danceable beat fool you – this is no simple party tune.
Plasma Chasms describe “Interstellar Baby” as “an intergalactic tale of love and connectedness through our differences.” The lyrics paint a vivid picture of cosmic romance, while the music itself is a love letter to the greats of psychedelic rock. You can hear echoes of Pink Floyd’s spacey atmospherics and Tame Impala’s modern psych-pop sheen, all filtered through Plasma Chasms’ unique sonic lens.
What sets this track apart is its seamless blend of eras and influences. The Motown-inspired horns add a soulful punch, while dreamy synths create an otherworldly atmosphere. Drewett and Guerrero’s vocals intertwine in cosmic harmony, sometimes blending so perfectly it’s as if a third, ethereal voice has joined the mix.
“This song came about to catch a vibe in enjoying Summer Fridays,” the band explains, “the day that you can go out for dinner and dance under the stars with your love. Being in a moment of bliss, where time stands still.” It’s this sense of timelessness that makes “Interstellar Baby” so captivating – it feels both nostalgic and futuristic, familiar yet utterly fresh.
As the third single from their upcoming debut album “Chrysalis,” “Interstellar Baby” showcases Plasma Chasms’ growth as songwriters and arrangers. The complex musical landscape they’ve created is a testament to their ambition and skill, promising great things for the full album release.
If you’re a fan of mind-expanding rock that isn’t afraid to get groovy, Plasma Chasms needs to be on your radar. “Interstellar Baby” is the perfect entry point into their cosmic sound – a track that’ll have you dancing, thinking, and feeling all at once.
