Mother Mother's new album Grief Chapter takes on themes of mortality, grief, and the pursuit of fearlessness while trying to answer some of life's most profound questions.
With tracks like "Nobody Escapes," "To My Heart," and "Head Shrink," Mother Mother delivers alt-rock anthems for the masses. But beneath the surface of these undeniable hits lies a more introspective journey, as frontman Ryan Guldemond grapples with the weighty concepts of life, death, and mourning. Produced by Guldemond and mixed by Rich Costey, Grief Chapter is an album looking for answers in a world full of questions.
On the new album, Guldemond swings between grandiose songwriting and intimate introspection, weaving together complex lyrical narratives that capture the fleeting nature of existence. As he explains, death and grief serve as reference points for embracing life more fully and living in the present moment, a message that resonates throughout the album's 12 tracks.
Mother Mother continues to connect with audiences around the world, earning gold and platinum certifications in both the US and Canada. Comprised of Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond, Jasmin Parkin, Ali Siadat, and Mike Young, the band has seen remarkable growth in recent years, with an ever-expanding global fanbase and a string of multi-platinum certifications to their name. In recent years, they’ve emerged as one of the brightest rising acts in 21st-century rock, amassing over 6.9 billion global streams and 3.9 billion views on YouTube. Their 2021 album, INSIDE, received widespread acclaim and reached over 300 million streams, an impressive feat for a band that’s not exactly a household name. Yet.
