NEWS: MOTHER MOTHER set to release THE STICKS on September 18th
FIRST
SINGLE
LET’S FALL IN LOVE
OUT NOW!
After an exciting year of virtually non-stop
globetrotting, Vancouver’s Juno nominated art-pop quintet MOTHER MOTHER wasted no time getting
back into recording mode. The result – the band’s fourth studio effort, THE STICKS, due on September
18, 2012 on Last Gang Records. The
first single Let’s Fall In Love
hits radio today – have a listen here.
Along with the new single, fans will be able to purchase the album’s title
track from iTunes
tomorrow, and pre-order the album with an exclusive b-side track titled All Gone.
Recorded during the winter
of 2012 in Mother Mother’s hometown of Vancouver, and co-produced by the
group’s own frontman/principle songwriter Ryan Guldemond and
producer/engineer Ben Kaplan (Shakira, Mudvayne, Gallows), THE STICKS
upholds Mother Mother’s tradition of tri-harmony vocal arrangements and
dynamic instrumentation, while making for the group’s most eclectic and rich album to date. The album’s lead off single Let’s
Fall In Love, an ironic homage to tunesmith Cole Porter, is a moody yet
epic song about the foolhardy games we play in the arena of romance: "Stupid does it, ugly do it… Let's
fall in love". Check out an exclusive performance from CBC.ca here.
THE STICKS follows a
whirlwind year of near constant touring in support of Mother Mother’s
previous release, the critically acclaimed EUREKA. The album produced
three Top 20 alternative radio singles, including the infectious smash hit The Stand which peaked at #3 at
Canadian alternative (#5 at modern rock), and yielded a Juno-nominated music
video. Internationally, Mother Mother’s reception is already mirroring that
of their homeland’s, indicative by the recognition they’ve garnered from
institutions such as BBC Radio, MTV, and tastemaker publications Q, Spin
and Paste among others.
Featuring
the
multi-talented line up of Ryan Guldemond (vocals/guitar), Molly
Guldemond (vocals/synth), Jasmin Parkin (vocals/keys), Jeremy Page
(bass/horns) and Ali
Siadat (percussion/electronics), Mother Mother’s unique blend of
clever lyrics, stunning vocals, quirky arrangements and a multi-dimensional
sound, both on stage and in the studio, has amassed the group a reputation
that has brought about their celebration as indie darlings, all the while endearing to the mainstream. The release of THE STICKS to the world promises to maintain that delicate balance for the group while poising them
for far greater milestone accomplishments and accolades, both domestically
and abroad.
Get ready to fall in love with Mother Mother!
