MOTHICA has shared another taste of her upcoming visual album ‘KISSING DEATH’ in the form of apocalyptic track ‘Afterlife’.
Coming after the release of country inspired track ‘Mirage’, the new track follows the synthwave influenced ‘The Reaper’, wickedly dark ‘Red’, the soaring ‘Doomed’, and the album’s brooding single ‘Curiosity Killed The Moth’.
Released alongside a video depicting MOTHICA taking a drive with Death, ‘Afterlife’ forms the next chapter in the story of MOTHICA’s forthcoming visual album, ‘KISSING DEATH’.
Have a listen to the new track via the music video below.
‘KISSING DEATH’ is set to arrive on August 23 via the singer-songwriter’s own Heavy Heart Records imprint, partnering with Rise Records.
Speaking on the forthcoming album, MOTHICA has shared:
“I decided to make Death a love interest in a dark rom-com-style tale.
“Throughout the visuals, I’m seen in a therapist’s office explaining this complicated relationship as if describing a scorned lover. The music videos will be like ‘flashbacks’ of what I’m telling my therapist. On the first single ‘DOOMED’, we go back in time to an angsty teenage version of me. This is my first brush with the Grim Reaper and I doodle pictures of him in my diary surrounded by hearts. Flash forward, I’m shown performing at a dive bar, clubbing, engulfed in self-destruction. He stalks me, and eventually even proposes marriage, and I leave him at the altar and run away. It ends with me and Death in couples therapy. I wanted the music to feel cinematic, like the soundtrack of a movie.”
It’s not long until MOTHICA heads out on tour across the UK and EU.
