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.
