Chasms is now the project of Hawaii-born, LA-based musician, singer, producer Jess Labrador.. Three years after The Mirage, they are back with two new tracks called “Things Have Changed” and “Submit“, out now via Felte Records.
On both tracks Chasms states; “Submit is about the Instagram/social media popularity game that feels really unavoidable these days. It came from observing this pattern of very public friendships built around being seen online, and even finding myself caught up in this behavior as well. It’s easy to fall into the trap of replacing meaningful interactions with validation. Anyone can create a seemingly emotional and heartfelt post online and almost will their version of events into reality. With the right words and moves, you can work your way into some sort of fame or social standing. But at the end of the day, it’s very empty. There will always be a new flavor of the month. The cycle repeats but the cast of characters change.”
“Things Have Changed” is a song about growth and finally getting to a place where you can say “no” to what is harmful to you despite it being familiar and comfortable. It’s about coming out on the other side of a toxic pattern and making healthy changes for yourself.”
