MOTHICA unveils new single and video, Curiosity Killed The Moth

MOTHICA has shared another new single and video from her upcoming album Kissing Death.

Following last month’s first single Doomed, today the artist unveils a song attached to her name, Curiosity Killed The Moth – and as such, she says that it felt like an especially “daunting” one to write.

“I thought of the phrase ‘curiosity killed the cat’ on the way to a session with David Burris and Alexandra Veltri, and we twisted it to be about a moth,” MOTHICA explains. “Like a moth to a flame. Icarus flying too close to the sun.

“I’ve always wanted to write a song about moths, but of course, it being my namesake that felt like a daunting task. I wanted every song to feel like it was from a soundtrack since I knew I was going to do a music video for every song, and so it turned into this dark cinematic feeling that I really love.”

Kissing Death is due out on August 23 via Heavy Heart/Rise Records.
