Before you dive into the new episode, we’ve rounded up the main points of their talk. Take a look below.
mortuary once used to practice witchcraft
Despite growing up in a religious family, Mogg began practicing witchcraft at the age of 17. Although she stopped a year and a half ago, she still sees divination as a “body response” rather than a trend. Mogg even admitted that lately she’s been going through an “existential crisis between good and evil,” despite being raised in an “open and loving” family. “I don’t think there’s a list of what you can’t do and the consequences. Every relationship with God is unique. Fundamentally, whatever you put and project into the world, you’ll get What,” she urged.
Her music doesn’t sound the same since the tour
In the new episode, Morgue says she’s been making “different music” since leaving the road, drawing inspiration from the Cure, Smashing Pumpkins and Mazzy Star. “It’s pretty cool sometimes on tour to get that perspective and watch the crowd react,” she notes. However, she is most interested in bittersweet happy and sad music. “I never write a sad song that sounds sad. I definitely write something that sounds bittersweet, and the Smashing Pumpkins album [Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness] It’s gold in that regard,” Mogg said.
she was destined to make music
Although Mogg is still in the early stages of her career, she has the vision and passion to make it happen. “I don’t give up easily, and I don’t do things that I don’t want to do,” she asserted. The morgue also knows that saying no is more important when the vibe isn’t right, even if it means it takes longer to achieve her goals. “We’re begging people to care and begging people to see it the way we do. I don’t know what I’d be doing if I wasn’t making music. I just can’t understand [it],” she says.
she used to be a choir boy
At the beginning of the episode, Mogg reveals that she is essentially a choir kid and has been in the choir for ten years. Although she’s been taking solos in her extracurricular time, she’s not an obvious candidate for a career in music because of her soft-spoken personality. Mogg also said that once she signed, performing on stage felt like a “whole different game” because she was used to singing in a group setting. “I was terrified standing alone on stage,” she admits.
The mortuary is building a legacy
Whether you’re a longtime fan of her sophisticated YouTube covers, or recently discovered her music through her 2022 debut album, girl next door, the morgue is sustaining a lasting career. “I think I’ve built something that I’m proud of, and I feel like I would have done that in all the other scenarios and hypothetical timelines,” she told Madden. Her music is forthright and genuine, with the ability to create an instant connection, which also helps her creatively. “I can’t not be myself, and I feel like that comes through in my music. I’m just too sharing. I love that I can’t hide it, or hide it any other way,” Mogg explains.
