    “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

Everything looks different,
On the other side,
But when it resurfaces, It makes you wanna die.
And it will always try,
And it will make you cry.

And it's always perfect from the start,
Lying and weaving all the dreams
you split apart.
Always thinking that it’s always gonna change.
Running around wasting all every inch of pain.

And it's so perfect, for you to think,
that it's so wonderful
but you suddenly blink.
And it came from the other side,
and when it all resurfaces you’ll cry.

And it’s always perfect from the start,
Always hearing words that will melt your heart.
Always chasing everything that makes you fall,
Running into things that you never really want.
And it's always perfect from the start,

Always chasing people
but will never win their heart,
Always changing your mind
and what you want.
Wish I could have been there when you
pulled me apart.
