Mousey is the nom-de-plum of Christchurch-based artist Sarena Close and she is just about to release her very personal third album, The Dreams Of Our Mothers' Mothers!

The 13th Floor's Marty Duda spoke to Mousey, who stopped in to our 13th Floor Studio while in Auckland to perform with the Exploding Rainbow Orchestra. This 8-song collection addresses issues that are very close to Sarena such as family dynamics, identity and breaking generational cycles.
