A darkly emotive success from After The Verge “Dark Day” captures a delectably ominous, dystopic tone amidst buzzy synths, vibrant rhythms, and memorable atmospheric maneuvers. Coming via a newly released EP, Inopportune Enlightenment, the track delights in delivering a catchy, replay-inducing approachability while still retaining a ghostly, impactful edge.

“They’re gonna keep you down,” the vocals let out during an especially stirring refrain, arising into the “another dark day, here we go round and round” acknowledgement of these tumultuous times, engineered by puppet masters that “know what’s best.” “They’ll stab you in the heart, through your bulletproof vest,” visceral lyricism furthers, enamoring alongside moody piano and concluding vocal harmonies. “Dark Day” is an enveloping, poignant triumph of a track from After The Verge.
