Emerging East London artist My Life As A Moth has released her striking new album The Parade Of The Starlet & The Broken Hearted, a 12-track collection that cements her reputation for crafting immersive, emotionally charged alt-rock soundscapes.
My Life As A Moth
Blending post-punk, experimental rock, art pop and industrial textures, the record builds a world that feels both intimate and otherworldly. Alongside the album release, she has also shared the video for standout single Transformers, further expanding the project’s distinctive visual and sonic identity.
The origins of My Life As A Moth trace back to lockdown, when Swedish-born, London-based artist Sofia Palm rediscovered music during a period of isolation. A chance moment—finding a dead moth inside a long-forgotten keyboard—sparked the creation of her debut song and ultimately gave rise to the project’s name and aesthetic. That interplay between fragility and beauty continues to define her work.
Written during a period of personal transformation, The Parade Of The Starlet & The Broken Hearted explores themes of trauma, manipulation and emotional recovery, while also embracing resilience and self-discovery. Through surreal imagery and layered storytelling, the album introduces the symbolic figures of the “starlet” and her “parade,” representing strength and empathy in a fractured world.
The album’s production, handled by Ellie Mason and Keir Adamson, plays a key role in shaping its unique atmosphere. Recorded over the course of a year in a garden studio, the sessions incorporated unconventional sound design, with everyday objects transformed into percussive and textural elements. The result is a sonic palette that feels tactile, unpredictable and alive.
My Life As A Moth
Having already built momentum with sold-out shows and growing radio support, My Life As A Moth continues to carve out a distinctive space within the UK’s alternative scene. With this latest release, she pushes her artistry further, transforming deeply personal experiences into something expansive, cinematic and unflinchingly honest.
