Editor's review

One thing a lot of indie bands lack is classic rock's brawling spirit. That doesn't seem to be a problem for this Vancouver group. The group fills in a capacious soundscape--it's New Wave-ish in size--with chugging basslines, sneering vocals, and ponderous guitar licks.

Biography

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.
