mokina - fool
A fleeting indie-folk spell woven from gentle guitars, layered vocals, and dreamlike textures.
Close your eyes while listening to “fool,” and you might find yourself in a lush meadow, with a little rivulet of crystal-clear water running through it. Montreal-born, Portugal-based singer-songwriter mokina creates something utterly beautiful and almost surreal, with gentle guitar, soft synth textures, lo-fi drums, and layered vocals forming a mesmerizing, spell-like whole.
At only two minutes and 28 seconds, “fool” feels fleeting, but its atmosphere lingers. The song marks the first single from mokina’s upcoming debut album, Jardim Celeste, and sees her reunite with longtime collaborator and producer Jeremy Lachance.
mokina says:
“I’m always surprised by what happens when Jeremy and I get in the studio with a two chord progression. The demo of this song was, in my opinion, one of the least convincing of the record and somehow it is coming out as the single. I’m so grateful to be able to work with a team of creatives who bring my ideas to life, both sonically and visually.”
