dark matter by jessi robertson feels like moonlight breaking through heavy clouds. it’s raw, celestial, and full of quiet revelation. across ten tracks, the nashville-based artist turns introspection into something cosmic – blending folk, alt-rock, and dream-pop with a warmth that feels achingly human.

originally from upstate new york, robertson spent fifteen years in brooklyn’s indie and experimental scenes before settling in nashville in 2018 – and that duality shines through here. dark matter hums with the grit of city nights and the warmth of southern storytelling, each song carrying its own quiet gravity. written and performed entirely solo, the album feels intimate, like a late-night confession under starlight.

inspired by her late autism diagnosis and years of unmasking, dark matter delves into identity, neurodivergence, and rebirth. she weaves metaphors of black holes, quantum entanglement, and sleep paralysis into melodies that linger like echoes – haunting, weightless, and healing all at once.

it’s a record of rediscovery: raw, celestial, and painfully honest. robertson’s voice moves through the dark not to escape it, but to understand it – and in doing so, she gives it light.
