My Life As A Moth Flutters In With Arresting New Single ‘Time Thief’
Rising singer-songwriter My Life As A Moth prepares to stop the clock with ‘Time Thief’, the first single from her upcoming album The Parade Of The Starlet & The Broken Hearted. An alternative anthem of beautiful chaos, ‘Time Thief’ explores the ways anxiety can distort and interrupt our sense of time and how “that negative spiral feels like a ‘time thief. You’re existing in that timeline at the same time grieving another reality that you could be thriving in” says My Life As A Moth.
Drawing inspiration from the eccentric brilliance of Björk, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Gorillaz, ‘Time Thief’ unfolds as a kaleidoscope of pulsating drums, warped dial-up tones, and reimagined everyday sounds, produced and arranged by Keir Adamson and Ellie Mason (Voka Gentle). Written from early guitar sketches at her kitchen table – two riffs that became the song’s Foundation – My Life As A Moth extends her sonic experimentation into the studio shed, where even a washing machine becomes an instrument. Through shaking, scraping, and tapping found objects, she builds unexpected textures that pulse with instinct and alchemy, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into her world.
