New York, NY (Top40 Charts) My Life As A Moth has returned today with her palpable new single 'Drama'. The first new music from the Swedish born, London-based singer-songwriter since the release of her debut EP 'Chest Of Dress Up' earlier this year 'Drama' carries on My Life As A Moth's work with Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Anna Calvi), Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Ben Christophers (Bat For Lashes) as the musician continues to hone her intricate and quirky sound.
Explaining 'Drama' in more detail My Life As A Moth elaborates, "'Drama' was one of my favourite songs to create. It started acapella and went on a long invigorating creative journey from there. It's about being caught in the middle of destructive drama, severely throwing off your inner peace to the point of losing touch with your sense of self. It's written from the point of view of both the drama and the receiver. Sonically I wanted to create a bold backbone with cheeky and fluttery flair."
The artist's debut EP 'Chest Of Dress Up' was released in March - a three-track project featuring the title track, as well as singles 'Sing King' and 'Electro Junction'. The release saw My Life As A Moth draw comparisons to the likes of
Kate Bush and
Fiona Apple for its eccentric nature.
Fizzing with personality and charm,'Chest Of Dress Up' the EP was recorded at Vada Studios, a converted chapel just outside of Stratford-upon-Avon, with the aforementioned esteemed producers Rob Ellis, Adrian Utley and Ben Christophers. Sonically, it evidenced playful and precocious innocent qualities proving My Life As A Moth to be a seriously talented musician who doesn't take herself too seriously.
