MOTHER MOTHER is definitely not a band to sit idle. The Vancouver based quintet are back with their sophomore album, O My Heart, set for release this fall on Last Gang Records (Metric, DFA 1979, The New Pornographers). O MY HEART shows all of the signs of a promising future. They placed producer Howard Redekopp (The New Pornographers, Tegan and Sara, 54.40) at the helm, and set their course. The result, an artistic and original expression of modern pop music that beautifully combines novelty and nostalgia, profundity and play, to create a musical landscape that will leave the listener spell bound and captivated.
Mother Mother’s use of rich vocal harmony, deeply poetic lyricism, and dynamic instrumentation are masterfully employed in this new collection of songs that mark the evolution and maturity of a band that stands out in today’s music scene – a band with staying power, and one that pushes the bounds of contemporary pop/rock sensibilities.
MOTHER MOTHER’s debut cd, TOUCH UP was a sleeper album that grabbed the attention of all the right people. “4 Stars” - The Globe and Mail. “An album isolated from a lot of today's worn-out trends and aesthetic mimicry" said Pitchfork Media. Cheeky Celebrity super-blogger, Perez Hilton distinguished Mother Mother to be “the most exciting band coming out of Canada” and Chart Attack remarked that “listening to Mother Mother is like reading Hunter S. Thompson – you end up in a place where reality has been delightfully skewed”, an apt comparison, given the band’s eccentric style – both lyrically and musically.
Mother Mother, come and play the Victoria Youthfest, You're in high demand by the Youth. I know we messaged you already, we just really want you and your awesome tunes to be on the bill. Cheers --James B of PEP
New sound is really interesting, I like Body of Years quite a bit. I was really curious about what the new release would sound like and I'm not dissapointed. What a talented bunch you are.
Wow, Oh My Heart has evolved, a little darker I think. I am good with that. It would be nice to talk about the new release and catch up sometime - maybe in August. This week's IndieCan includes another Touch Up tune.
the production of your gals/guys new songs sound immaculate. some of the most enchanting and indelible vocals that put you in serenity from the first note. i hope everything is wonderful with all you and can't wait to see you all again in aug at the Whistler show. also just wondering if Babies ever makes the setlist? hint,hint. ;) hugs, bye for now
Whoah, your new songs are so different from your "Touch up" material but my god, they are absolutely fantastic. Seriously. Congratulations on making such awesome music and I can not wait until the album is release. =] Love and luck, Kelly xxx
love what i have heard of the new stuff. hope my 3 y.o. daughter likes it as much as the other stuff. she sings dirty town non stop and makes me play it over and over for her.
Oh I wish I live in town - sometimes. lol. I am trying to listent to your new songs and with dial up it is not easy.. WHAT i have heard makes me want to sit here all night waiting for it to download. Do you have a new CD for sale? Video? Getting info is so slow.. Keep up the good work, you are so AWESOME and COME to California SOON.. Chico would be nice..
