Bassist Ciara King describes the track as “an ode to every single burnout episode that any creative has ever had. It’s important to break the fourth wall sometimes and say, ‘this is really hard, isn’t it? You can be exhausted and still love your craft. This one goes out to all our burnt out pals. Keep going.”

“It’s about that moment when you’re not sure if your crush feels the same. You want to leave the party, but then they arrive, and suddenly you could stay all night.”

"These acoustic versions were the last three things I recorded on my Fostex 4-track tape machine before the transport broke irreparably. We put them on the Japanese release of my album You Are the Morning as bonus tracks. We were originally gonna use the actual demos that got me signed by Phoebe, but my voice has changed a lot since then and I wanted to redo them but in exactly the same way”

“I think the stripped version does it justice while staying close to the demo. The new EP embraces the vulnerability at the heart of her songwriting, harkening back to her roots as a solo acoustic performer while casting the songs in a lush, organic light.

Montreal-born singer, songwriter, and producer Mokina returns today with the release of her lush new EP, mirage—a five-track journey through dreamy indie-folk textures and raw emotional honesty.

“‘Bad Apple’ is about loving something so deeply only to discover it was harmful, you bit into a bad apple—something that leaves you alone and broken.”

“Rosie is a thank-you to my friends. It’s about rolling all of them into one perfect person — Rosie — who doesn’t actually exist. I didn’t want to single anyone out, and none of their names fit into the chorus!”

“Rabbit Hole was inspired by a pretty chaotic chapter of my life. It’s about losing control, when your mind takes over and everything feels magnified—like falling down a rabbit hole.”
