    “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

Trapped in a body with nowhere else to go.
Swimming in waves without seeing the shore.
Inhaling blood dripping from your nose to your mouth,
Coughed it all out, hard to swallow now.

Trapped under a mask, peel your skin off.
Release and detach all you want.
Trapped under a mask, peel your skin off.
Release and detach all you want.

Woke up from a hospital bed,
So many sleepless nights of
what could have been.
Spewing out to everything I’ve ever had
Scrubbing away at scabs, it’s hard to heal now.

Trapped under a mask, peel your skin off.
Release and detach all you want.
Trapped under a mask, peel your skin off.
Release and detach all you want.

Trapped under a mask, peel your skin off.
Release and detach all you want.
Trapped under a mask, peel your skin off.
Release and detach all you want.

Cause everything hurts, either way,
I dragged a knife in my skin just to feel okay,
Afraid of my reflection, a monster I hate.
Peel your skin off just to feel at bay.

Trapped under a mask, peel your skin off.
Release and detach all you want.
Trapped under a mask, peel your skin off.
Release and detach all you want.
