Globally-celebrated alt-rock band Mother Mother have released their new single entitled Love To Death. An early leak of the song first surfaced on YouTube back in 2009 and has remained a part of the Quadra Island, British Columbia group’s lore ever since. A fan favourite, 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.

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.” Love To Death sets the stage for the arrival of their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Nostalgia, on 6th June.
The new single follows in the wake of the recently released Make Believe, the first reveal of sonic delights to come from Nostalgia. The track has already amassed over 1.9 million Spotify streams and 251K YouTube views on the lyric video.
The band will embark on a run of festivals and headline dates this summer, including Lollapalooza Berlin and Paris, Mad Cool in Spain, Rock Werchter in Belgium, and opening for the mighty Muse in Sweden, and more. They will also play a UK exclusive show at the O2 Academy Brixton in London along with a variety of other headline shows. More touring forthcoming for 2026.
Nostalgia is an album that delivers a creative palate as simultaneously expansive and cohesive as Mother Mother have ever offered. Arriving on the heels of 2023’s acclaimed Grief Chapter, it fosters both the spirit of creativity and total originality that fans have come to know and love about the band, while also pushing their musicality, lyricism, and aesthetics to new peaks. It’s heartfelt and dark, funneling and fractaling themes of alienation, existentialism, self-love and self-hate, gender roles, and spirituality through the vibrant imagery of otherworldly landscapes and mythical creatures.
