“Shadow War: Singularity” is a reimagined version of one of the most thematically rich tracks from Dark Matter. The song explores how conflict, both internal and external, can distort our perception of ourselves and others. When fear takes over, we start to see people as creatures, threats, or enemies, even when the real battle is happening inside our own minds.

Drawing on influences from Jewish golem mythology and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the song examines the dehumanizing effect of “othering.” The lyrics move through images of monsters, omens, and hidden dangers, only to reveal that the enemy we’re fighting is often a reflection of ourselves. At its core, it’s a meditation on how manufactured division wounds us, and how love remains the most disarming force we have.

For this version, Jessi collaborated with Aaron Berg (Mountainwalker), opening up a new emotional dimension within the song, one that leans into tension, vulnerability, and the possibility of transformation.

If you’ve ever felt stitched together, misunderstood, or out of place, yet still determined to reach for connection, this song is for you.

Dark Matter is the most personal and daring release from Jessi Robertson to date. After receiving a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder in the spring of 2025, Jessi entered a period of deep reflection, confronting the many ways she had masked her identity throughout life: socially, emotionally, and creatively.

This work is the result of unmasking and reimagining what it means to create without self-limitation. It’s an excavation of discarded songs primarily conceived in 2017. It uses the universe as a metaphor for otherness, touching on black holes, quantum entanglement, data loss, sleep paralysis, and the emotional physics of being misunderstood. With a new perspective, Jessi rebuilt each song, and in the process, began to rebuild herself.

Dark Matter is a solo journey by design, with guitar lines, bass, and drum programming all crafted by Jessi alone. This was not intended as a showcase of skill, but as a declaration of self. The result is raw, vulnerable, unapologetically space-obsessed, and illuminated by hope even as it explores the outer darkness. It reflects a mind learning to trust its own voice, even when that voice does not conform to expectations.

Whether you’re neurodivergent, neurotypical, or somewhere in between, Dark Matter speaks to the universal experience of being told you’re too much or not enough. It’s an invitation to unmask, to feel deeply, and to find beauty in the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide.
