Mother Mother coming to Regina in February

-

Alt-rock band Mother Mother is coming to Regina's Brandt Centre on Feb. 24 as part of 11-date Canadian tour.

The Vancouver-based group is promoting its latest album, Grief Chapter, which was launched in February and has been called some of the band's most dynamic work to date.

“Our instinct was to make things hit hard and feel powerful,” lead singer/songwriter Ryan Guldemond said in a media release.

“We don't take this moment for granted — or this life. A life in music, doing what we love with whom we love.”

Prior to the upcoming cross-canada trek, Mother Mother is touring North America this summer with 20-plus stops across the U.S., along with Vancouver and Toronto. The band has 16 more U.S. dates in the fall before heading to Mexico City, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Columbia, New Zealand and Australia.

Formed in 2005, Mother Mother has released nine studio albums. Its 2021 release, Inside, helped launch the group to a new level of popularity, highlighte­d by the platinum-certified single Hayloft II. Other top songs include Verbatim, Burning Pile, Hayloft, Arms Tonite, Wrecking Ball, Body, and Oh Ana.

Mother Mother's new album is described by Live Nation as “a dialed-up collection of songs that takes chances, swings big, goes as grandiose with the songwritin­g as it does granular.

“Grief Chapter dives lyrically deep on big picture concepts like life, death, mourning, and the freedom that comes with accepting the inevitable. And sonically, Grief Chapter's 12 songs are some of Mother Mother's most muscular offerings of all time, buoyed by legions of new fans and the bigger rooms and venues that have followed their recent years of continued, evolved success.”

The tour is supported by multiplati­num British singer Robbie Skinner (known profession­ally as Cavetown) along with indiepop trio Cannons from Los Angeles.

Presales begin this Tuesday, followed by the general sale on May 3 (10 a.m.), via livenation.com.
