Mousey - The Dreams of Our Mothers' Mothers! (Vinyl)
$60.00
Regular price $30.00Since her surprisingly fully formed and beautifully surprising debut album Lemon Law landed in 2019 with breakout single 'Extreme Highs', Mousey - the songwriting nom de plume of Ōtautahi’s Sarena Close - has been slowly but surely honing her craft.
Her 2022’s album My Friends drew praise from all corners, with Rolling Stone Australia noting “Mousey’s lyricism and songwriting are excellent, bolstered by the album’s phenomenal production”.
Now, once dubbed by Radio New Zealand as “one of the brighter young talents on the New Zealand music scene”, this APRA Silver Scroll nominee returns with her first southern utterance since My Friends announcing her new album - The Dreams of our Mothers’ Mothers!
From the intimacy and pain of Sufjan Stevens’ most emotive moments to the grandeur and beautiful drama of Mitski, the darker moods of Portishead’s starker work to to the swagger and passion of Perfume Genius, the influences here are many and varied. But make no mistake, this is all Mousey, purest form Mousey… a fully realised, and really quite remarkable Mousey.
“These albums that I’ve been making have become good vehicles to help me understand myself,” Sarena says. “It’s a privilege that I get to discover and express myself in such a way and also that some people would be interested in watching it all go down.”

Die on that Hill

We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
