MOTHER MOTHER ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM NOSTALGIA OUT JUNE 6 | NEW SINGLE “MAKE BELIEVE” OUT NOW
WARNER MUSIC/PARLOPHONE
Celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band, globally-celebrated alt-rock phenomenon Mother Mother have shared their brand new single “Make Believe” via Parlophone/Warner Records. Listen HERE and watch the lyric video below or HERE. The track heralds the arrival of their upcoming tenth studio album, Nostalgia, out June 6th. Pre-order/pre-save HERE.
“I indulged a bit in my own life-philosophy on this track,” frontman and lyricist Ryan Guldemond says of the song. “Magical thinking, interconnection, cosmic gallivanting.”
The imaginative “Make Believe” is only the first taste of what’s to come on Nostalgia, an album that delivers a creative palette as simultaneously expansive and cohesive as Mother Mother have ever offered.
Arriving on the heels of 2024’s acclaimed Grief Chapter, it fosters both the spirit of creativity and total originality that fans have come to know and love about the band, while also pushing their musicality, lyricism, and aesthetics to new peaks. It’s heartfelt and dark, funnelling and fractaling themes of alienation, existentialism, self-love and self-hate, gender roles, and spirituality through the vibrant imagery of otherworldly landscapes and mythical creatures.
“In creating ‘Nostalgia,’ our goal was to embody a childlike creativity which often becomes elusive as we age and gather too many tricks,” explains Guldemond, noting the importance of their emotional cohesion for this album-making process. “We evaluated every creative choice by its emotional impact—whether that was a lyric, a reverb trail or an EQ curve. If something didn’t evoke a strong emotional reaction—we let it go. This approach led to work we genuinely love and take pride in.”
In creating their tenth studio album, Mother Mother have achieved something few acts get the chance to: freedom in creativity, resulting in a record that feels both true to their legacy and gesturing towards the next two decades ahead. Stay tuned for more as the group dives into Nostalgia and the journey in front of them.
Following the album release Mother Mother will embark on a European tour starting with a huge outdoor show in Stockholm in support of Muse. They will play a number of major festivals and have now announced a headline tour which includes London’s O2 Academy Brixton on July 16th, their only UK show for 2025.
