Mother Mother

Mother Mother... different, Canadian, and lead singer hotness all in one. But hey most lead singers have that certain je ne sais quoi about them, eh?
As I said they are Canadian, coming Vancouver and they are phenomenal. The lead singer, Ryan Guldemond came into one of my classes to talk about songwriting... and since then my obsession for them has increased two fold. Not only because he was SO SMART but because he had a very "meh" outlook about the record industry and seemed to just want to write music and share it with people. On top of this, he wrote all of the music himself! Ya, I know everyone is swooning now.
The rest of the band is made up of his sister, Molly Guldemond who also fills vocals and their new addition is Jasmin Parkin, who plays keyboards and also vocals. The drummer is Ali Siadat and the bassist is Jeremy Page. Page fits the typical bassist role, he appears calm cool and relaxed the entire time they are playing.

Alright, so their most recent album is O My Heart. It came out last September and is awesome. They toured with Matthew Good this past fall and seemed to fly into success. They even got considerable radio play on their song, Body of Yours so WOO for that.

Now... I'm not going to ramble about the different aspects of the album, just know it's different and it's good. In other words... it's love!
Songs to download by Mother Mother?
Ghosting
O My Heart
Hayloft
Arms Tonite
Sleep Awake

Ghosting... is slow and cute and I'm so in love... SO IN LOVE with it. And it mentions Halloween in it and that's my favourite "holiday" sooo ya it gets bonus points for that

O My Heart... obviously the title track... catchy and fast and dancy. Therefore, gets kudos from me.

Hayloft... this song is super super alternative, it's so weird and I love it for that and the lyrics make me chuckle.

Arms Tonite... even though tonight is spelled incorrectly I still love this song, it is yet again a cute song.

Sleep Awake... NOW this song... Ryan Guldemond said was his favourite on the album... and it's awesome. Have I mentioned that I love him?

Oh yes, I love him.
Enough said.
Download them, they're good and Canadian and awesome and I love him.
