Today, globally-celebrated alt-rock band Mother Mother release the new single entitled “Love To Death.” Listen HERE via Warner Records. An early leak of the song first surfaced on YouTube back in 2009, and has remained a part of Mother Mother’s lore ever since. As a fan favorite, unofficial uploads have generated hundreds of thousands of plays, and fans have even devoted Reddit forums and entire comment sections to the track as they awaited its formal release.
“Love To Death” sets the stage for the arrival of their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Nostalgia, on June 6. Pre-order/pre-save HERE.
The song hinges on a propulsive drum pattern. The vocals lock into a call-and-response, melting into an otherworldly choir of echoes. During the bridge, eerie harmonies soothe and scorch. In fiery fashion, the lyrics attempt to untangle love’s complexities as frontman Ryan Guldemond sings, “Look at love it will burn your eyes. Kept shut and you feel deprived.” Meanwhile, the momentum combusts on a chantable chorus, “You love enough and you love to death, oh.”
