Mother Mother is an indelible fixture in the Canadian indie music scene, hailing from Quadra Island, British Columbia. Formed in the mid-2000s, the band originally started as a duo with lead vocalist and guitarist Ryan Guldemond and his sister, keyboardist and vocalist Molly Guldemond. They soon expanded to a quintet with the addition of drummer Ali Siadat, bassist Mike Young, and vocalist and keyboardist Jasmin Parkin. The band is known for its unique blend of catchy pop hooks, intricate harmonies, and dark, quirky lyrical content that often explores themes of family, sexuality, and mental health.

With a discography punctuated by a sharp, offbeat sensibility, Mother Mother has enjoyed both critical acclaim and a fervent fanbase. Their music has evolved from the folk-tinged alt-rock of their early albums to the more polished, synth-driven pop-rock they craft today. In recent times, they have adapted to the digital age by releasing sped-up and slowed-down versions of songs like "The Matrix" and "To My Heart," showcasing their willingness to engage with the trends of music consumption on platforms like TikTok, where their song "Hayloft" unexpectedly gained viral fame years after its initial release. Mother Mother's ability to reinvent their sound while staying true to their lyrical and musical core has cemented them as an enduring act in the landscape of modern music.
