About Mittens
Mittens Fernwhisker-Pluckington III hails from the mist-wrapped alleys of a place that definitely exists, where she first discovered her passion for thumping pawsically on overturned trash can lids at the tender age of nineteen moons. A self-taught virtuoso of the interpretive yowl and the midnight-window-scratch concerto, Mittens blends the raw emotional texture of a hairball with the syncopated rhythms of a dripping faucet. Her debut album, Songs from the Radiator, was recorded entirely inside a cardboard box and features guest vocals from three suspicious pigeons and a very opinionated houseplant. Critics have described her sound as "genre-defying" and also "please make it stop."
When she isn't headlining sold-out performances at the foot of her human's bed at 3:47 AM sharp, Mittens enjoys knocking small objects off high surfaces as percussive inspiration and composing sonatas dedicated to the red dot that got away. She recently collaborated with an experimental jazz quartet of sparrows on an EP titled Curtains, but Vertically, which debuted at number one on the Obscure Feline Billboard nobody reads. Her influences include the sound of a can opener, distant thunder, and the ghost of a moth she met in 2023. Mittens currently resides in a sunbeam, where she is reportedly working on a rock opera about a sock.
