Megg Jacobs unleashes stormy alt-rock catharsis on new single ‘ego’

Megg Jacobs dives headfirst into the chaos of ego death on her ferocious new track ‘ego’. But this isn’t the serene, meditative shedding of self, it’s a violent unravelling. With pummelling drums, razor-edged guitars, and vocals that rasp with raw conviction, Jacobs captures what it feels like to be thrust into the uncomfortable grey areas of existence.

Lyrically, ‘ego’ wrestles with identity collapse and the agony of being forced to sit with life’s contradictions. Dark irony pulses through the track, too, Jacobs adopts worms as her symbolic mascots, surreal agents of transformation that feed on ego instead of flesh.

Produced with Spicehouse in Sanford, NC, ‘ego’ is an unflinching scream from the eye of the storm. Unapologetic, intense, and strangely liberating, this is Jacobs at her most commanding.
