Mothica breaks down the world-building behind her new music and visuals, including the release of “Evergreen Misery” and “Save Your Roses,” and the upcoming five-song EP Somewhere In Between (out February 20). What started as an inside joke has evolved into a full creative universe — complete with lore, symbolism, and a heavier sonic direction fans are already calling “Rocka.”

Mothica opens up about sobriety, rehab, anxiety, and the hard decision to cancel a major tour to prioritize her mental health. She talks candidly about addiction, creative rebirth, and learning to live in the gray area between extremes.

The episode also goes into:

• Why this era leans heavier and more rock-driven

• The meaning behind Somewhere In Between

• Re-releasing “Vices” and rewriting its future

• Touring again after recovery and what’s different this time

• Her love of practical effects, moth lore, and visual storytelling

• Shrek, All Star, and why it somehow all makes sense
