"falling apart" by New Jersey based Scarpa, the musical moniker of songwriter, musician, creative Danni Scarpa is a dense, hazey, post punk manifestation of the stuff of life and the anxiety that can weigh you down until you fall apart at the seams. The elements all crafted by Scarpa with the exception of Bill Deatly-Peluso on drums might pull you in to the point of getting lost in the angst. It did me, love the shoegaze affections but appreciate that the lyrics are not completely lost in the fray, especially love the screaming, pained tones expressed via the lead guitar lines and the solid heavy drumming that pumps and gnaws at the emotional storm of sounds.
"falling apart" is from Scarpa's newly-released album "tempvs fvckit", [a name derived from the latin "tempus fugit" meaning "time flies." It is a concept album in chronological order spanning nearly the entirety of the 2010s and ending in early 2020. It is about aging, nostalgia, depression, romance, and substance abuse.]
[The album was mixed by Kyle Gilbride of the band Swearin' who has also engineered albums by Waxahatchee, Girlpool, Radiator Hospital, and Mal Blum.]

From Scarpa's Facebook:
after what seems like forever, i present to you all: TEMPVS FVCKIT. the title is derived from "tempus fugit" which means "time flies" in latin. tempvs fvckit does not mean "time fucks" but more like "fuck time." tempvs fvckit is about aging, nostalgia, and the intersection between the two. the album also contains the classic scarpa lyrical themes of romance, substance abuse, and the intersection between the two, or as has been written more eloquently, "heartbroken after-hours barroom meditations."
i played guitar, bass, and keyboard and did all the singing. bill (Peluso Plays Drums) played drums and molly venom (TFO Lis) put some great beats on polden' na lysoy gore (that’s russian for “mid-afternoon on bald mountain”). kyle gilbride mixed it and Steve Matthew Carter - Music for Screen mastered it. this album would've sounded little a big wet sack of shit without them.
