Interview: Mother Mother
Last summer I took a trip to Brooklyn to check out Mother Mother, since the Canadian band only had two U.S. dates on their ’07 tour, both in New York. I stood five feet away from the stage and was instantly captivated. Their debut album, Touch Up, released in 2007 on Last Gang Records, had been on constant iPod rotation since it dropped. There was something about their Vancouver sensibility and genial alt-folk sound that made songs like “Dirty Town” and “Polynesia” more than just powerfully catchy tunes; the songs became a part of my life soundtrack. The voices of singer/guitar player Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond (Ryan’s sister), and Debra-Jean Creelman combine to create a hauntingly harmonic wall of sound that is sometimes chill-inducing.
Mother Mother is now touring the United States to promote their new album, O My Heart. They’ll be stopping DC9 this Saturday with Ki: Theory and the Blackout District.
Ryan Guldemond took a few minutes out of his tour schedule to answer some questions for Black Plastic Bag.
