MOTHICA has joined the worldwide roster of SharpTone Records, and to celebrate the signing, she has released the video for her new single ‘EVERGREEN MISERY.’
Drawn by themes of renewal and rebirth, the singer found her new home with the label.
"Writing 'Evergreen Misery' was a journey full of every twist and turn you could imagine,"Mothica shares, pulling back the curtain to share details about the song's redemptive factor with her dedicated fanbase. "I was a few months out of rehab and I needed to release this simmering anger and deep melancholy that I was numbing for so long. Getting swept up into the underbelly of the music industry took a huge toll on my mental health. When I checked into a 30-day treatment program, I was ready to leave music entirely. The behind the scenes stirs up a lot of animosity, envy and sorts of ugly emotions. I took a step back to focus on my recovery, and finally felt ready to reconnect with the pure feeling of writing music again."
She continues, "The lyrics are a reflection of some energy vampires I've had in my life. People I let into my life who tried to borrow elements of my story as their own, knowing they didn't experience the pain my art stems from. There's a dark humour in that for me, this idea of 'take what you want from me, my misery is bottomless' – which is a bit dramatic, but that's how it felt."
Mothica finishes, "I knew I wanted to step into a heavier era with this next release, which my fans have deemed 'Rockica' with my releases like 'Nocturnal,' my Polyphia collab, or my Bring Me The Horizon remix. I grew up going to metalcore shows and it finally felt like the right time to pull from that side of myself. I love Nine Inch Nails, Sleep Token, Bad Omens, Wage War, Bring Me the Horizon, Evanescence, and so many other artists in the scene that combine cinematic synths, gritty guitars and big emotional hooks. Working with my producer Elliot Polokoff helped me carve out what this era sounds like, and what flavour of rock felt undeniably true for Mothica."
"While writing this new era of music, I knew I was taking a step in a different sonic direction," she explains. "The entire team at SharpTone Records really saw my vision with both the music and the visuals I create. I'm so excited to announce this partnership with SharpTone Records to elevate the next evolution of MOTHICA."
