Mother Mother Tease ‘Nostalgia’ Album with Single “Make Believe”

Celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band, globally-celebrated alt-rock phenomenon Mother Mother have shared their brand new single “Make Believe” via Parlophone/Warner Records. The track heralds the arrival of their upcoming tenth studio album, Nostalgia, out June 6th.

Frontman and lyricist Ryan Guldemond said of the song:

“I indulged a bit in my own life-philosophy on this track. Magical thinking, interconnection, cosmic gallivanting.”

The imaginative “Make Believe” is only the first taste of what’s to come on Nostalgia, an album that delivers a creative palette as simultaneously expansive and cohesive as Mother Mother has ever offered.

Arriving on the heels of 2024’s acclaimed Grief Chapter, it fosters both the spirit of creativity and total originality that fans have come to know and love about the band, while also pushing their musicality, lyricism, and aesthetics to new peaks. It’s heartfelt and dark, funnelling and fractaling themes of alienation, existentialism, self-love and self-hate, gender roles, and spirituality through the vibrant imagery of otherworldly landscapes and mythical creatures.

Noting the importance of their emotional cohesion for this album-making process, Guldemond explains:

“In creating Nostalgia, our goal was to embody a childlike creativity which often becomes elusive as we age and gather too many tricks. We evaluated every creative choice by its emotional impact—whether that was a lyric, a reverb trail or an EQ curve. If something didn’t evoke a strong emotional reaction—we let it go. This approach led to work we genuinely love and take pride in.”

In creating their tenth studio album, Mother Mother has achieved something few acts get the chance to: freedom in creativity, resulting in a record that feels both true to their legacy and gesturing towards the next two decades ahead. Stay tuned for more as the group dives into Nostalgia and the journey in front of them.
