“This EP feels like everything I felt all at once — the adrenaline, guilt, and loneliness that come with change. I’m really proud of it. This has been the most exciting and rewarding year of my life so far.”

“it’s exciting baby u should come own it… I’m your trophy / come hold it.”

Built from a single resampled guitar take, “peaches” was inspired by a recording session canceled when a storm knocked out power in East Nashville. “The storm provided imagery to express feeling disconnected from close friends, and frustrated with external forces getting in the way of mending the relationship.”

“It’s about looking at the world through different lenses and accepting your own vision.”

“I was feeling lost, wondering if making music was the right thing to do in a time of turmoil, seeing villains rule the world and destroy the planet.”

“Lemonade was born out of my hot-and-cold relationship with romance and intimacy. I felt weak relying on validation because it was the closest thing to love I could find—classic uni experience.”

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.

“Writing Sadgirl was about understanding myself through the wreckage. It’s about letting go of fear and facing the parts of myself I’d spent years avoiding.”

“‘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.”

“LOVE YOU BETTER came from wishing I had the ability to love people better than I was capable of. Grief and trauma have shaped the way I connect with others, and the song reflects that — the wish to heal with love, and the painful truth that sometimes love just isn’t enough.”

Montreal multidisciplinary artist Annie-Claude Deschênes returns with Main de Fer, a haunting new single that fuses minimal techno and avant-garde into a disorienting soundscape of emotional isolation and psychological unraveling.
