We are joined by the Christchurch based singer-songwriter Sarena Close (aka Mousey).

With a penchant for honest storytelling and evocative melodies, Mousey's music is known for its emotive and introspective nature. Earlier this year Mousey released her third album, titled ‘The Dreams of Our Mothers’ Mothers!’, about which we will be chatting!
