Vancouver Canada's Mother Mother are generating much recognition with their original approach to modern pop/rock music; a beautifully bent portrait of vocal harmony, clever, offbeat lyricism, and dynamic instrumentation. Their sound is best encapsulated on their sophomore album, O My Heart, produced by Howard Redekopp (Tegan and Sara, The New Pornographers) and Mother Mother's own frontman, Ryan Guldemond. O My Heart is the band's second album on Toronto-based boutique indie label, Last Gang Records (Metric, The New Pornographers, DFA 1979, Crystal Castles) and was released in September 2008, following the group's 2007 debut, Touch Up. To date the release has seen much success, topping the Canadian campus and community radio charts and climbing very high as well as sustaining a charting on the CMJ Top 200 for more than 14 weeks and counting. In support of O My Heart, Mother Mother have embarked on several North American tours and festivals, including an extensive tour of the US as support for the Sam Roberts Band with stops at CMW and SXSW along the way.
"Mother Mother coos lovely boy-girl harmonies, masking their dire lyrics while slyly exulting in the cleansing blaze." - Spin Magazine
"Vocal Harmonies even Queen would be proud of" - UR Chicago Magazine
"Takes the lyrical genius of the first [album], pushes it beyond all expectations and then pairs it with the band's trademarked intertwining vocal harmonies." - Exclaim!
I sure did vote for you, my favourite artists!!! I want to see you guys in concert more then I even imagine sometimes... Hope to be able to make it to one of your shows Your Fan, Heidi
I hope I'm the first to say - so far your performance has been by far the SUPERIOR performance of the evening at the Casby's! You killed - and the camera work was so much better than the other performers. Molly & Jas you were ON! I've always felt that music awards were kind of ODD - music is art and so subjective - how can one artist be compared to another when it is all a matter of personal taste and how it reaches each of us? All I know for sure is musical acumen and talent - which all five of you demonstrate and bring to us and it is appreciated! Thanks for your music !!! and piss on CFNY who I couldn't get thru to and win tickets to the Casby's. luv ya and hope you had a fabulous time, Marlene
Great looking tour. I was out of T.Dot during the Casbys. Who's be in TO when you can be in Saskatchewan, anyway. And I don't mean Regina or Saskatoon - that's so stubble jumping five minutes ago. I mean Foam Lake. We'll talk. But I will be in town when you're parked outside Masey Hall. Look's freakin' great on you. Congrats for a whole lotta hard work paying in - or starting to. We'll dine at Fran's or Maybe the St, Mike's hospital cafeteria or somewhere super vegan-hip like that between photo shoots and clothing line launches.
don't take the whole CASBYs thing too hard. the edge is going down the shitter in terms of quality anyway. i love your album and it was the clear winner for me at least. looking forward to seeing you in kingston in november, keep rockin'!
