Mother Mother — O My Heart

in

On their Touch Up debut album, Mother Mother sounded like a more acoustic, folky version of The New Pornographers. Here, they've largely ditched the acoustic guitars in favour of a more electric, plugged-in approach, and now they sound like they could be a carbon copy of the Pornos. I guess this isn't a surprise, considering Howard Redekopp, who...

WATCH: Mother Mother cover Christmas classics for CBC Radio 3

By Colton Eddy (CHARTattack) December 13, 2011 11:49 am
In part of CBC Radio 3's "A Canadian Indie Christmas," Mother Mother executed a distorted rendition of the John Lennon yuletide tune at the Vancouver studios last week. It doesn't come close to the raw and heartfelt original, but it's an interesting take by the five-piece outfit from Quadra Island. But, at this time of year, it's hard to be...

Video Of The Day: Mother Mother's "The Stand"

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) June 9, 2011 1:26 pm
What you've long suspected is true: Mother Mother are aliens. No, really, there are some seriously freaky, out of this world hairstyles in this clip for Eureka's "The Stand." It's either that or Ryan Guldemond thinks he's in space, but he's really in some kind of mental institution. Hmm, maybe that's what's with the Rorschach tests that are lying...

Mother Mother — Eureka

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) March 18, 2011 4:28 pm
Mother Mother have said their music is unabashedly pop and make no apologies for using said genre tag. Eureka is definitely much more "pop" than the band's previous releases, 2007's Touch Up and 2008's O My Heart. It's also much better produced and the mixing job is much more professional. Throughout, it sounds like a record that was made by a big...

Mother Mother return with "The Stand," the first single from their upcoming third album Eureka, due out March 15 through Last Gang. You'll probably notice right away that the track's a big step up for the band — mainly because it sounds huge.
