Los Angeles outfit Darker Lighter, the solo endeavor of Salar Rajabnik (Pete Yorn), bursts forth with a new single: Nothing’s Ever Gonna Be The Same, the latest offering paving the way to his debut self-titled album, dropping March 28, 2025, through Mishi Records and The Orchard/Sony Music.
Rajabnik now ignites a storm of sound with Nothing’s Ever Gonna Be The Same Again: a fierce, uncompromising anthem. It’s raw with the anguish and helplessness of navigating a world riddled with injustice and relentless sorrow. Driven by a punishing, relentless riff and waves of distorted guitars, Rajabnik embodies collective frustration—oppressed beneath merciless power structures. The track assaults the senses: amplifiers straining near combustion, drums pounding furiously, cymbals cracking under pressure, and vocals that roar with unrestrained desperation.
Salar Rajabnik’s prowess as a songwriter takes center stage in this defiant release. The song surges with a furious call for reckoning, a fierce demand for accountability, and an unyielding cry for change. No more excuses for past harm inflicted by the powerful. It resounds with the spirit of collective uprising, a firm refusal to endure oppression, and an iron determination to shatter the chains of injustice. The lyrics throb with the certainty of consequences, proclaiming the end of old, corrupt ways and the dawn of something new—where the wrongdoers face the full force of long-overdue judgment, with no forgiveness granted.
