“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
Got lost in the rush of people,
the whole grand view.
I will always be such a lovely display to you,
And we shared the same dream
Always running to you
Always running deep
Always you and me
But jealousy, but jealousy.
But I’d rather be,
something different and solitary
And I'll always think I'm different.
To you, and me, you’ll always have a part of me
And we will both be empty
I left a part of me,
In the back of your car seat.
Didn't seem to think right, after I left your car that night
There's nothing we can do.
When I refuse to grow
But you never grew for me too
But you never grew for me too
But I’d rather be, something different and solitary
And I’ll always think I’m different.
To you, and me, you’ll always have a part of me
And we will both be empty.
Got lost in the rush of people
The whole grand view
Jealousy took your mind away
And that separated me from you.
But I’d rather be, something different and solitary
And I’ll always think I’m different.
To you, and me, you’ll always have a part of me
And we will both be empty.
Got lost in the rush of people
The whole grand view
Jealousy took your mind away
And that separated me from you.
