Mother Mother Release New LP DANCE AND CRY Out This Friday
Chart topping Mother Mother will release their new album, Dance and Cry this Friday, November 2 via Universal Music Canada. Of the LP the band's lead singer Ryan Guldemond notes, 'This album was written from a place of wanting to be moved, and wanting to move others. At a certain point of the writing process I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't pursue songs that didn't either make me want to dance or cry, or ideally both. This ethos catalyzed a broader theme with regards to healing, and how feeling one's pain and becoming truly intimate, loving and curious with it, is a crucial part of finding your way out of it.'
