In ‘Dark Matter’, Sister Ghost – the musical alter ego of Shannon Delores O’Neill – crafts an arrangement that’s as expansive as the cosmos and as intimate as a whispered secret.
This lead track from her upcoming debut album ‘Beyond The Water’ showcases O’Neill’s prowess in blending the grandeur of 80s synth-rock with the raw energy of alternative punk. The result is a celestial journey through the invisible forces that shape our lives and loves.
O’Neill’s voice soars over a lush soundscape, painting vivid imagery of hidden truths and unspoken desires. The chorus, “dark matter, pour over me”, serves as a poignant metaphor for the unseen influences in our lives, particularly resonating with queer experiences. With its bridge whispering of love glowing in fire.
