MOTHICA has released a video for her new single Mirage, taken from her upcoming album KISSING DEATH.
“At one point, this record was taking a classic western inspired direction but I cut most of those songs,” she explains. “I love slide guitar, old church bells, and that spaghetti western influence you’d hear in a Tarantino movie. But being from Oklahoma, I always stayed away from country adjacent sounds because it’s all I ever heard on the radio. I heard about this idea in therapy I wanted to write about. People imagine achieving their goals will bring them happiness, like this still image in their mind of “once I get this, i’ll be happy forever”. But emotions aren’t permanent, it could just be a mirage of water in the desert. So this is my spin on western imagery as a Mothica song. The fans heard a snippet and nicknamed it my yeehaw-thica song.”
