Vancouver alt-rockers Mother Mother have released two new songs, Forgotten Souls and Pure Love, taken from their forthcoming eighth album INSIDE.
“Forgotten Souls is an older idea that made the record,” says vocalist/guitarist Ryan Guldemond. “It was important to me that if we were to include songs conceptualised before INSIDE, they align with the album’s theme. The lyric ‘the garden grows in frozen rain’ fit perfectly, and quite accurately describes a big part of healing: trust and trusting in the process. We often link growth to external markers of success, and if we can’t see it, we don’t believe it—but the soul is constantly evolving and expanding, just from time passing. A different kind of soil turns over when we’re just simply being, just like the earth enriches beneath the ice in the dead of winter.”
“Pure Love feels like it came from a celestial kind of place, and centres around a theme of awe for the universe and creation and promotes self-love as a modality for living,” he adds. “I particularly enjoy the fact that it’s the only Mother Mother song I’ve not penned one single lyric for; that only adds to the sense of it having just appeared. Molly was instrumental in writing this one, and sings it beautifully.”
INSIDE is due for release on 25th June 2021 via Parlophone Records.
