Mother Mother - O My Heart
There’s nothing more annoying than a band, bereft of originality, that’s in love with its own sound. Mother Mother fancies itself indie-rock innovators, shaping its fey baroque-pop arrangements around the cloying voices of Molly Guldemond and Debra-Jean Creelman. But the Vancouver quintet is a magpie outfit. The group’s sophomore album changes styles endlessly and borrows shamelessly from a host of bands, including Broken Social Scene on the slow building “Burning Pile.” Eccentric, yes, but in the worst way.
