My Life As A Moth stops the clock with "Time Thief", a stunning, alt anthem. The song, the first single to be unveiled from her upcoming album "The Parade Of The Starlet & The Broken Hearted", encapsulates that uneasy sense of being stuck between what is and what might have been, where self-doubt becomes a thief not just of one's stability, but also of time.
"Time Thief" creates a collage that is, in turn, familiar and out-of-this-world. Inspired by the genre-blending artistic boldness of Björk, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Gorillaz, it's not a song that plays it safe. It's anxious, raw, and strangely comforting —the type of song that grows teeth and wings upon repeated listens.
The album, produced and arranged by Voka Gentle (comprising Keir Adamson and Ellie Mason), jumps with experimentation. From two simple riffs jotted down at her kitchen table, this spirals into a playground: washing machines rattling as percussion, found objects shaking and scraping in time. These textures hum with instinct and electricity.
But at its core rests the inimitable voice of My Life As A Moth, fragile one moment, defiant the next, leading listeners through a minefield of chaos and clarity. That her artistry, as much invention as vulnerability, reminds us in the storm of overthinking that there's beauty to be had in losing and reclaiming time.
