One of the other favourites from “The Dark Lord Project”, “Jealous Poison” is inspired by the fusion of dark pop, electronica and alternative rock.
Its specifically crafted story and influence from the envy and hunger for power within the nature of the Sith helped to create a track that’s both entrancing, yet haunting.
When I was working on this EP and going through the motions I was, part of what brought me comfort was the nostalgia and fond memories that replayed in my head.
“Purely Truthfully” was written a bit before the whole project, but it gained new meaning to me as I was making it; drawing inspiration from the music I remembered hearing being played off Mum’s radio, while growing up in the early 00s.
With more of a Trance vibe and a slight Downtempo/Ambient influence, “Complacement” is meant to give you a feeling of wilderness, nature and the wider world around you.
Containing a steady groove, and a more lighter melody in comparison to some of the others on the EP, this track is one for those easy going moments.
