Mother Mother

สำรวจชีตเปียโนโดย Mother Mother บน Zen Virtual Piano Ryan Guldemond, the frontman, remembers working alone in a home studio he built among the trees of Quadra Island, near Vancouver Island's east coast, where he and his sister Molly, also his bandmate, grew up; silence, he says, can be loud. He calls his first high school band magic, recalling hours of repeating one song with friends in a shed and a steady flow state of passion and engagement. The Pixies came next, which he found mind-blowing, followed by a heavy metal phase in high school. A shed, a home studio in the woods and a sister in the band suggest a group whose beginnings were close to home, in a family and a place that clearly mattered to the music. Ryan and Molly later roomed together in Vancouver while he went to music school. Pushing back against a more cerebral style of music, he began writing vocal-driven pop songs and hoped to form a band around them. Molly and a college friend, Debra-Jean Creelman, were brought in to sing alongside his own vocals; as an acoustic trio they performed until Kenton Loewen joined on drums and Jeremy Page on bass. Pop songs written as a reply to a cerebral education suggest a band that began as a deliberate change of direction. Several bands were already called Mother, so the label encouraged a change of name; the band had built some steam with the name, so instead of replacing it they doubled it up. The band was essentially a folk trio at the beginning, Ryan says, and the music has since become denser and less organic. Molly handles all of the band's artwork and design. A name doubled to avoid a clash and a sound that grew denser over time hint at a band that adapted as it went. Ryan says that a story or a strong experience, good or bad, to inform the writing adds depth and meaning to an album. On January 28, 2022 the band put out a deluxe edition of Inside, which added the single Life, a follow-up to their best-known song Hayloft, a piano demo of Like A Child and four more new songs. While writing for a deluxe Grief Chapter, the band found the process so inspiring that it led to further new songs and then to the idea of going back to bring out older ones. A sequel to a best-known song and archive work hint at a band that keeps looking back at its own earlier work as it moves ahead, and that seems comfortable doing both at once.
