The band had a recent feature in Rolling Stone, and made several appearances of late in Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart, as well as topping Lyric Find’s global and US lyric search charts. MOTHER MOTHER, comprised of Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond, Jasmin Parkin, Ali Siadat and Mike Young, has had a whirlwind decade over 1.2 billion streams and views, more than 15 million monthly listeners and counting on digital platforms and 2.5 million Shazam searches. But since that wasn’t an option, I set about a different kind of travel, one more inward and personal, exploring different types of therapies, meditation, and journaling as a means to unearth songs from a deeper, interior place.” I love that process – it’s almost like you’re in collaboration with the world. Usually, I like to venture out and find guidance from an external, interactive narrative-travelling, people, serendipities etc. Of creating INSIDE Guldemond says, “The world stopped, and all the sudden I had a lot more alone-time on my hands, which isn’t necessarily conducive to song writing. After several months of writing and recording demos in his home, the album was recorded with Juno award-winning producer Howard Redekopp, who produced the band’s first two releases. INSIDE takes its inspiration from self-reflection, something band frontman and songwriter Ryan Guldemond was forced to do in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result the venues have been upgraded with a second London show being announced for The Forum!ġ7/03 – The Garage, Glasgow (UK) SOLD OUTĢ2/03 – The Forum, London (UK) – NEW SHOW ADDED The UK & Ireland has proved itself to have some of the most passionate MOTHER MOTHER fans on the planet with all the recently announced shows selling out immediately. Dates include nearly 40 shows in 14 countries, including performances in New York City, Los Angeles, Paris, London, with more to be announced. Many of the shows have sold out eight months in advance. To bring INSIDE to life, MOTHER MOTHER will hit the road on a worldwide 2022 tour. To date, these tracks cumulatively tallied 2 million-plus streams to date and garnered international critical acclaim, as well as a #1 radio hit in Canada. The video for ‘ I Got Love’ was created by over 4,000 fan submissions from around the world. Teasing out the album, the group kicked off this chapter with ‘ I Got Love’ and ‘ Stay Behind’. Molly was instrumental in writing this one, and sings it beautifully.” “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. “ ‘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,” says Ryan of the track.

The visualiser for ‘ Pure Love’ speaks to the song’s empowering message of self-love and also stands out as an outlier in the catalog for a very special reason. 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.” 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. 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.

It was important to me that if we were to include songs conceptualised before INSIDE, they align with the album’s theme. Framed by watercolor-style effects, the band perform against a backdrop of post-apocalyptic wreckage, juxtaposing darkness and light all at once.Ībout the song, Ryan commented, “ ‘Forgotten Souls’ is an older idea that made the record. ” Directed by Sterling Larose, the video unfurls like a painting in motion. The upbeat vocals alternate between a fluttering high backing vocals and wistful croon as singer and guitarist Ryan Guldemond assures, “Forgotten souls, we’ll be okay. Embodying their deep and dynamic approach to alternative, ‘ Forgotten Souls’ glides along on breezy acoustic guitar punctuated by shimmering keys.
