The Skinny: 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 below. 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 and 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”.
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.
