Disdarken Strips It All Down To The Bone With “Alone”

There are songs that are meant to comfort. However, "Alone" by Disdarken is meant to confront.

"Alone" is a new single by Disdarken. It is an emotionally raw exploration of depression and isolation. It is a shortest and simplest song in the duo's growing catalogue of songs. "Alone" doesn't actually need flashy production to deliver its message. The band Disdarken was formed by Alan V. Niculae and Nick Carmine during the pandemic. It was born from their shared love of darker corners of post punk music. This influence can be deeply seen in the song "Alone."

"The song delivers the message with unsettling clarity."

Its refusal to overexplain makes "Alone" so impactful. The lyrics are really blunt and unguarded. They mirror the starkness of depression when it strips everything else away. "Alone" also is like a preview for their next album, "Keep the Dark Inside". It promises more of the same visceral honesty in the album too. Disdarken confront the darkness rather than romanticizing it. Through this, they create a space where even heaviest emotions feel seen and heard.
