about

Elegiac Persona is Dakota Shane Harrington's debut release under the moniker of The Blakstar Experience. A name used as a metaphor for depression being equivalent to blackholes being collapsed supernovas that literally eat light from stars that cannot escape their pull. Inspired by such artists as Lustmord, The Dead Texan, Column One, and Ulver's Silence EPs. Harrington constructs an album comprised of songs that were written while battling mental illness creating a melancholy soundtrack that evokes a feeling of existential dread and dismay riddled with tension throughout the albums 38 minute long run time. As a way to cope with his depression and battling suicidal tendencies, Harrington attempts to convey these feelings of existential dread through the medium of Post-Industrial music in the grip of an Oklahoman winter through dark ethereal soundscapes, conjured synth artifacts and spectral drones.
