Mothica – releases the new collection ”Somewhere in Between” EP’s

Mothica–the LA-based singer, performer, and visual artist McKenzie Ellis–today digitally released her new EP Somewhere In Between (mothicorp’s lofi breakroom beats), a hypnotic reworking of her acclaimed debut for SharpTone Records. Recorded at Mothicorp Studios in collaboration with Nathan Miller AKA Icarus Moth, the new collection sees the Somewhere in Between EP’s five original heavy and dynamic tracks fully remixed beyond recognition. Visualisers for all the songs were also created by Madison Schubert for art and Chris Klumpp on Animation.

“Somewhere In Between has always lived in an emotional and liminal space for me. Turning these songs into lofi remixes with Nathan Miller only felt natural,” McKenzie explains. “I wanted them to feel like memories you revisit at 2am, softer, dreamier and a little haunted. I’m so excited to have these on a cassette designed by Madison Schubert so my fans can feel the nostalgia in this sound even more.” The cassette edition of Somewhere In Between (mothicorp’s lofi breakroom beats), due out mid July.

2026 has seen Mothica’s star continue to rise with the February release of Somewhere In Between and a remix for HEALTH arriving soon after. Featuring singles “WEAPON,” “Save Your Roses,” and “Evergreen Misery,” her latest EP introducing a new era that’s “heavier and louder than ever before” earned praise and support from Kerrang! (cover story), Knotfest (She’s With The Band podcast), Hit Parader, Spotify’s All New Metal playlist, MARVIN, CBC Music, Ghost Cult(9/10 stars), Metal Anarchy, and more. 

Somewhere in Between represents a return to self for Mckenzie, and a chance to open up her sound in new ways. “Getting sober again opened my heart up to feeling all the things I had been numbing. Looking at myself from an honest lens, no matter how unflattering, unveiled an intense urge to write more music,” she explains. “Heavier guitars, punchier vocals, cinematic synths. It was tricky figuring out what ‘flavor’ of rock that’d feel true to me, creating this combination of dark pop and rock and metal. I worked with new collaborators, with songs produced by Elliot Polokoff (Drop Dead Gorgeous), Curt Martin (Catch Your Breath), Zach Jones (The Home Team, Scene Queen, Fever 333) and some co-production by me.”
