Kicking off a bold new era, platinum-certified alt-pop rockersMother Mothershare a brand new single and music video entitled Matrix’today viaWarner Records. Listen HERE now. It heralds the arrival of their keenly awaited forthcoming full-length album, Grief Chapter, set for release on February 16th— pre-order here.
OnGrief Chapter, vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist, Ryan Guldemondswings 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.
As Guldemond explains, “Death and grief rooted themselves in these songs, but not morosely. It’s used more as a reference point for how to live more fully and presently. Life is fleeting. Therefore, it’s precious, and Death is the most effective way to frame this miracle of living.”
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 contains many easter eggs and references to Mother Motherlore 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 My Heart and fan-favorite‘Normalize’, the first release from 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).’

Meanwhile, their 2021 album INSIDE, piled up 300 million streams, while their social imprint has dramatically expanded.

Starting in February of next year, the group will launch an extensive 30-date headline tour of Europe.
