Quiet as a Mouse returns with the premiere of two new tracks, ‘Cocaine Soul’ and ‘From…To…’, released via YouTube on Friday 24 April. The songs offer a compelling first glimpse into the project’s upcoming second album, ‘Nostalgia is fine…but…’, due for digital release on Friday 29 May.
‘Cocaine Soul’ arrives as a frenetic, genre-blurring rocker—pulling from ’60s and ’70s blues while colliding with the raw edge of grunge and punk. It’s driven by some of Alex Moran’s most vivid lyricism to date, with each verse unfolding like its own story, before opening into a bold, anthemic chorus that feels built for volume and repetition.
In contrast, ‘From…To…’ reveals the other end of the spectrum. Stripped back and emotionally direct, it leans into vulnerability—capturing the quiet aftermath of lost love with a sense of honesty and restraint. Where ‘Cocaine Soul’ pushes outward, ‘From…To…’ turns inward, offering a more intimate and reflective moment.
Together, the two tracks highlight the range at the core of Quiet as a Mouse—balancing intensity with tenderness, and setting the tone for what’s to come on ‘Nostalgia is fine…but…’.
