It just made sense to continue down that path as opposed to uprooting the core and starting from scratch. In doing that you get attached to that personality and it begins to define the shape of the song.

#MOTHER MOTHER THE STICKS ALBUM PURCHASE SKIN#

вЂњAs the songs were coming in, they were wearing a skin of electronics.

вЂњIвЂ™ve been really getting into James Blake, Little Dragon and EDM in general,вЂќ Guldemond says.

The guitar hooks are bigger, the synths are louder, the vocal harmonies are more carefully crafted and the irony toned down, and the bass and drums are tighter. ItвЂ™s a much different band than on the conceptual вЂњThe SticksвЂќ (2012), an album that made Mother Mother the second most-played artist on Canadian alternative radio in 20. This isnвЂ™t the same Mother Mother that gave us the cheeky вЂњTouch UpвЂќ (2007) and вЂњO My HeartвЂќ (2008), or even the adventurous вЂњEurekaвЂќ (2011).

Recorded with Juno-winning producer Gavin Brown (Metric, Billy Talent, Tragically Hip) at his Noble Street studio in Toronto, вЂњVery Good Bad ThingвЂќ is the next logical step in Mother MotherвЂ™s sonic evolution. вЂњNever have I been so at peace with the imperfect side of myself.вЂќ вЂњAs I get older I feel more in touch with my flaws as something I can integrate, as opposed to something I suppress in order to spin some yarn of perfection,вЂќ Guldemond says. вЂњYou may just watch me disappear,вЂќ he sings against the silence. вЂњAm I to die alone and sublime?вЂќ Guldemond asks before ending the album as if it had all been an illusion - with a vanishing trick. No subject is taboo for Mother Mother on вЂњVery Good Bad ThingвЂќ: male body image (вЂњI Go HungryвЂќ), morning-after self-loathing (вЂњHave It OutвЂќ), bullying and suicide (вЂњKept Down,вЂќ inspired in part by the death of Amanda Todd). вЂњF - вЂ“ yeah, IвЂ™m a deviant,вЂќ Guldemond proclaims on the proggy вЂњReaper Man,вЂќ which pounds its way through your cerebellum like the giant walking hammers from Pink FloydвЂ™s вЂњThe Wall.вЂќ вЂњI know IвЂ™m supposed to integrate,вЂќ he snarls, вЂњbut howвЂ™s about instead I inch away?вЂќ Mother Mother come out swinging on вЂњGet Out The Way,вЂќ a super-charged call to arms Guldemond describes as not letting anyone to get in the way of your truth, whatever your truth may be. Human вЂњmalfunctionsвЂќ are cause for celebration on вЂњVery Good Bad Thing.вЂќ вЂњBut thereвЂ™s not a lot of denial,вЂќ Guldemond says. вЂњI think itвЂ™s peppier and more of a party, but at the same time the torture is very apparent,вЂќ singer/keyboardist Jasmin Parkin says. The band are embarking on a hotly anticipated European tour this spring with dates in Germany, London, France, and at The Great Escape in Brighton.Mother Mother has always reveled in contradiction.вЂњItвЂ™s the person, the humanoidвЂ¦thatвЂ™s the very good bad thing.вЂќFor Ryan Guldemond, there is no denying the human condition in all its tragic, conflicting nature.Two years after the Juno-nominated вЂњThe Sticks,вЂќ the bandвЂ™s apocalyptic 2012 album steeped in isolation and dread, the Vancouver quintet returns with its fifth studio album, вЂњVery Good Bad ThingвЂќ: an edgy, synth-heavy, club-driven rock record filled with massive hooks.Д«ut as is the bandвЂ™s trademark, behind the gauzy boy-girl vocal harmonies, angular guitar lines and infectious rhythms lies something deeper and darker. The band has also found success on the road recent tours include sold-out headline dates across North America, selling out the historic Massey Hall in Toronto, and a record-breaking five consecutive sold-out shows at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver (nearly 6000 tickets). In 2014 they racked up more hits with вЂњGet Out The WayвЂќ, вЂњMonkey TreeвЂќ and вЂњModern LoveвЂќ from their much-lauded record Very Good Bad Thing. The releases that followed, Eureka (2011) and The Sticks (2012) delivered the top 5 radio hits вЂњThe StandвЂќ, вЂњBit By BitвЂќ and вЂњLetвЂ™s Fall In LoveвЂќ, making the band the second most aired alternative act in Canada in 20.

The alt-rockers first earned critical acclaim with their debut albums Touch Up (2007) and O My Heart (2008). Mother MotherвЂ™s previous album, 2017вЂ™s No Culture, produced вЂњThe DrugsвЂќ a #1 single on the Alt Rock charts in Canada for three consecutive weeks. The bandвЂ™s North American tour supporting Dance and Cry earlier this year saw sellouts in Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Seattle, Portland, Ottawa, and more. Their most recent release, Dance and Cry saw its first single вЂњGet UpвЂќ at #1 on the Canadian alternative charts for seven consecutive weeks. Comprised of Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond, Jasmin Parkin, Ali Siadat and Mike Young, Mother Mother has had a whirlwind decade garnering seven top 10 singles on the alt rock Canadian charts and 100 million streams and counting on digital platforms.
