Vancouver Canada's Mother Mother are generating much recognition with their original approach to modern pop/rock music; a beautifully bent portrait of vocal harmony, clever, offbeat lyricism, and dynamic instrumentation. Their sound is best encapsulated on their sophomore album, O My Heart, produced by Howard Redekopp (Tegan and Sara, The New Pornographers). O My Heart is Mother Mother's second album on Last Gang Records (Metric, DFA 1979, The New Pornographers, Crystal Castles) and since its release in September of 2008, has achieved great milestones:

Not only has the charts taken fondly to Mother Mother, but the critics as well:

Also paramount to the rising success of Mother Mother is their live show. On stage, this group of five delivers a big sound, executing pristine vocal harmonies while utilizing a variety of multi-instrumental talents. With engaging stage chemistry, Mother Mother recreates the essence of their recorded music with precision and conviction, while never losing touch with the power of spontaneity and abandon. No stranger to life on the road, Mother Mother tours constantly and is building a large and dedicated fan base in North America. They've graced the stage with such artists as The Killers and Spoon, and have performed on a diverse array of festival/showcase stages including SXSW, CMJ, Pop Montreal, V-Fest and both the Vancouver and Montreal International Jazz Festivals.

Mother Mother kicked off 2009 by hitting the road, opening for Canadian rockers the Sam Roberts Band in the United States, with stops at Canadian Music Week in Toronto and SXSW in Austin along the way. By the looks of it, 2009 is shaping up to be another great year for Mother Mother.
