Death is an uncomfortable topic that most people avoid thinking about, but MOTHICA decides
to dance with it. Vulnerably, she laments her personal battles with depression, addiction, suicidal
ideation, processing her pain with lush soundscapes underpinned by funereal keys,
heart-thumping hard rock guitars, and disarmingly catchy moments of pop catharsis.
“For my whole life, I’ve romanticized death,” she states. “In the back of my mind, suicide
seemed like a natural and easy solution. When my thoughts get dark, I remind myself that we
have an infinite amount of time to ‘not exist.’ For the small sliver I’m here, it’s important to soak
up every second and make the most of it. It’s scary to surrender to the unknown, but it’s
powerful to not give into my toxic vices anymore’.”
