MOTHER MOTHER ANNOUNCE 2024 UK & EU TOUR SUPPORTS
NEW ALBUM GRIEF CHAPTER OUT FEBRUARY 16 VIA WARNER MUSIC/PARLOPHONE
Platinum-certified alt-pop rockers Mother Mother have announced support for their UK/European tour. Joining the Canadian outfit on the 31-date trek on select dates are Crawlers, Gurriers, Tribe Friday and Moncrieff.
Slated to begin on February 17th 2024 in Sheffield the tour marks the band’s most ambitious to date, with stops in UK cities Manchester, Glasgow, Dublin, Newcastle, Leeds, London, Nottingham, Cardiff, Brighton and Birmingham then straight over to Europe for an extensive run of shows. Tickets are available now at https://www.mothermothersite.com/
Mother Mother will be touring their keenly awaited forthcoming full-length album, Grief Chapter, which will be released the day before the tour starts on February 16th — pre-order it HERE. On Grief Chapter, vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Ryan Guldemond swings big, goes as grandiose with songwriting as he does granular, with big picture concepts like life, death, mourning, and the freedom that comes with accepting the inevitable – seemingly heavy themes that, magically, are buoyed by lyrical moments of complexity and lightness throughout the albums 12 tracks.
The new single “The Matrix” deploys dreamy keys and swooning vocals that give the illusion of a future-facing lullaby. The accompanying visual taps into this otherworldly energy, and also contains a huge number of easter eggs and references to Mother Mother lore woven throughout the single room set for fans to discover.
It continues what has become a tradition of captivating content by the group, following recent singles “To My Heart” and fan-favorite “Normalize”, which was the first release from Mother Mother since 2022’s universally acclaimed album INSIDE. “Normalize” arrived with an intense video directed by acclaimed horror director Colin Minihan (Grave Encounters, What Keeps You Alive). Soon after, the band released an alternate fan video of the track that collected clips from the band’s global community of fanatics. Click HERE to watch the “Normalize (Alternate Fan Video)”.
Making a major impact, Mother Mother have quietly become one of 21st century rock’s brightest rising acts. Thus far, Mother Mother have tallied a staggering 6.9 billion global streams and 3.9 billion views across YouTube. Meanwhile, their 2021 album, INSIDE, piled up 300 million streams, while their social imprint has dramatically expanded. They regularly attract over 7.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify in addition to reaching an audience of nearly 9 million total followers.
2022 catapulted Mother Mother into a new stratosphere of universal success following the release of their eighth studio album INSIDE. Their explosive follow-up to “Hayloft”, “Hayloft II” connected with fans around the world. The song debuted inside the Top 10 on Spotify’s Global Top Songs chart, is now certified Gold in the US and has achieved Platinum status in Canada, having garnered over 755 million global streams including 560 million views across YouTube to date. In addition to their Stateside RIAA Gold & Platinum tracks, the band have earned multi-platinum certifications in their home country of Canada for the album O My Heart as well as several of their other hit songs.
Comprised of Ryan Guldemond (vocals, guitar), Molly Guldemond (vocals, keys), Jasmin Parkin (vocals, keys), Ali Siadat (drums) and Mike Young (bass), Mother Mother have seen truly remarkable growth over the past three years, with enormous worldwide success since 2021: Over 6.9 billion global streams, more than 57.5 million monthly listeners on digital platforms, 6.5 million Shazam searches and nearly 3 million TikTok followers.
