Thom Chapman’s “In Deep” Sets Dreamlike Psych-Pop Against a Tragic Fairytale

Arriving December 4, 2026, “In Deep” is a lush, dreamlike psychedelic art-pop single written, performed, and produced by Thom Chapman. What begins as a satirical observation of party culture slowly becomes a confessional realization: the satire may have become reality.

Co-written by Thom Chapman and Ben Ringle, the song blends the warmth of ’60s folk-pop with hazy dream-pop. After the bridge, the chorus returns over a funereal progression; rising Juno arpeggios meet repeating slide guitar before the song ends on the abrupt confession: “I’m in.”

A self-directed film echoes the song’s shift through an allegorical decayed Wonderland. The music draws the listener in with beauty; the visual world reveals the consequence of understanding. Together, they ask an unsettling question: what if finding the answers is the tragedy?

Created at Glass Lodge Studios, the project brings Chapman’s songwriting, production, and visual storytelling into one interconnected work—offering a clear entry point for music, film, visual-art, and Nashville-focused coverage.
