Alt-pop artist Tarric returns with “I’m a Danger to Myself (Dark Disko Remix),” a relentless and brooding rework that deepens the emotional stakes of the original. Layered with a cinematic beat and cold precision, this remix drags the song’s message into the shadows and makes it bleed.
Tarric, who cut his teeth on the nostalgic ache of ‘80s new wave and sharpened his sound in the alternative underground, uses this release to dive headfirst into themes of inner chaos and self-destruction. His lyrics—“Now all of these regrets, lock them up forget / The thing I know so well / I’m a danger to myself”—strike with brutal honesty. The remix doesn’t offer escape or redemption. It forces the listener to sit in the storm and confront the weight of their own reflection.
Raised in the American Midwest and shaped by the stark contrast between the melancholy of The Smiths and the anthemic drive of The Killers, Tarric is no stranger to emotional duality. After relocating to Los Angeles with just $400 in his pocket, he built his sound from the ground up, merging the edge of post-punk revival with a sleek indie sensibility. His debut single “I Had It Wrong” climbed to #37 on the alternative radio charts, and his visual work has been spotlighted across MTV, Earmilk, Wonderland, and Starry Mag.
The Dark Disko Remix arrives ahead of Tarric’s upcoming sophomore album, Method, an introspective follow-up to his debut, Lovesick. If Lovesick was about the wreckage of relationships, Method is about crawling through the ruins and recognizing the self as both architect and arsonist.
