“In the Dark” came together in 2020 after urging from close friends and producer Billy Mannino (Bigger Better Sun, Oso Oso). Singer/multi-instrumentalist Nikki Esposito built this solo project from the ground up, performing all instruments alongside Ethan Kreidemaker’s studio percussion. It’s a lightning bolt of intensity and harrowing growth set to honor and expand upon her primary influences, a flash of self-understanding while re-entering a lightless era. Star Funeral’s debut is a potent discovery of new ways to shoulder old wounds, such as the murmurs of body dysmorphia trailing behind double-jaw surgery (“Mouth Bleeder”), the lack of closure in lost friendships (“Outgrow”), and the anxiety of letting others in after these hurdles (“Breather”).

lyrics
What do you think about when you're alone?
Why do you feel like you're alone?
Because the days just keep shifting, and I just keep on slipping.
Never knowing the way I should be.
What do you feel when you're alone?
How do you feel when you're alone?
Pushed it all away it turned to dust.
Now what do you feel when you're alone?
In the end am I out of my mind?
I always keep reflecting about everything intertwined.
What's it like to feel a thing again?
To breathe in deeper meanings,
It's like I left so many pieces behind.
What do you feel when you're alone?
How do you feel when you're alone?
Pushed it all away it turned to dust.
Now what do you feel when you're alone?
