Star Funeral In The Dark Silver Vinyl Edition

Star Funeral is the full-band solo project of Nikki Esposito. Stepping into the spot light from behind the bassin Secret Tapes, Esposito adds guitar and lead vocalsto her list of duties while drums are handled by EthanKreidemaker. Sonically, Star Funeral walks a fine linebetween pleasant and somber tones- dreamy guitarssplash through plodding bass and drums with Esposito's vocals driving them forward through a flurry ofaching longing and regret. This is indie rock at its finestand Star Funeral feel set to be a standard bearer for along time. "In the Dark" came together in 2020 after urging fromclose friends and producer Billy Mannino (Bigger BetterSun, Oso Oso). Singer/multi-instrumentalist Nikki Esposito built this solo project from the ground up, performing all instruments alongside Ethan Kreidemaker'sstudio percussion. It's a lightning bolt of intensity andharrowing growth set to honor and expand upon herprimary influences, a flash of self-understanding whilere-entering a lightless era. Star Funeral's debut is apotent discovery of new ways to shoulder old wounds,such as the murmurs of body dysmorphia trailing behind double-jaw surgery ("Mouth Bleeder"), the lack ofclosure in lost friendships ("Outgrow"), and the anxietyof letting others in after these hurdles ("Breather").
