Mother Mother release new album Nostalgia

June 6, 2025 — Today, Mother Mother release their highly-anticipated 10^th studio album Nostalgia in honour of their 20th anniversary as a band. Nostalgia delivers a creative palate as simultaneously expansive and cohesive as Mother Mother has ever offered.Arriving on the heels of 2024’s acclaimed Grief Chapter, the new album fosters the spirit of total originality that fans know and love, while also pushing their musicality, lyricism, and aesthetics to new peaks. The dozen songs contained within are heartfelt, brazen, dark, and wild, fractaling intense themes through the vibrant imagery of otherworldly landscapes and mythical creatures.

The focus track for the album is ‘ON AND ON (Song for Jasmin)’, which is a true, platonic love letter from the band’s frontman Ryan Guldemond to his band mate, Jasmin Parkin. The two started their relationship as romantic partners, Jasmin later joined the band, and all parties involved (including the band) survived their subsequent breakup. Their relationship evolved into a deep and lasting friendship, that has endured deep loss, a lot of joy, and travelling the world together as bandmates. The video that accompanies the song is mostly shot by Ryan and captures moments from those travels.

In making this album Mother Mother have achieved something few established acts can pull off: total creative freedom, resulting in a record that feels both true to their legacy and gesturing toward their next two decades. Stay tuned as the group dives into Nostalgia and the journey ahead.

Leading up to the album’s release, Nostalgia features the recent singles that have already become fast fan favourites upon release including the playfully controversial ‘FINGER’ along with its equally provocative and surreal video which gleefully takes on a series of societal absurdities over an off-kilter, distinctly Mother Mother brand of post-glam, alt-rock. The appropriately surreal music video that pokes fun at domestic expectation and was directed by long-time collaborator Sterling Larose (Snotty Nose Rez Kids, SonReal, Claire Rosinkranz). Watch it HERE.

Each of the tracks on Nostalgia explore familiar themes of alienation, existentialism, self-love, self-hate, gender roles, spirituality — while intentionally returning to the creative verve and fearlessness that guided their earliest work. They’ve previously shared the long-awaited, fan favourite ‘Love to Death’ and ‘Make Believe’, a spirited sonic rollercoaster ride that celebrates outside-the-box thinking and, naturally, unicorns.

WHEN THE HORN BLOWS professed, “This track is a bold first taste of the expansive and cohesive creative palette Mother Mother has crafted for their upcoming album.” Melodic Magazine marvelled at how, “Mother Mother continues to push boundaries musically and aesthetically, nodding to what the next two decades will hold.” Billboard raved, “The song is an energetic ode to fantasy and divinity, with a slightly sinister edge. It wouldn’t sound out of place on the soundtrack for a TV drama like Yellowjackets.”
