Mother Mother – Finger

Last June Mother Mother released their 10th studio album Nostalgia, that delivers a creative palate as simultaneously expansive and cohesive as the band has ever offered.

Each of the tracks on Nostalgia explore familiar themes of alienation, existentialism, self-love, self-hate, gender roles, spirituality — while intentionally returning to the creative verve and fearlessness that guided their earliest work. They’ve previously shared the long-awaited, fan favourite ‘Love to Death’ and ‘Make Believe’, a spirited sonic rollercoaster ride that celebrates outside-the-box thinking and, naturally, unicorns.

Leading up to the album’s release, Nostalgia features the playfully controversial ‘Finger’ along with its equally provocative and surreal video which gleefully takes on a series of societal absurdities over an off-kilter, distinctly Mother Mother brand of post-glam, alt-rock. The appropriately surreal music video that pokes fun at domestic expectation and was directed by long-time collaborator Sterling Larose (Snotty Nose Rez Kids, SonReal, Claire Rosinkranz).

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
