MOTHER MOTHER COMPLETES NEW VIDEO, ANNOUNCES U.S. TOUR DATES
New York, NY, August 26 – Mother Mother is gearing up for the September 16th release of their second album O My Heart, and has just completed a video for the title track. The clip was helmed by visionary 22 year-old director Colin Minihan, who recently achieved an incredible four videos simultaneously charting on the MuchMusic Countown, and also got a Best Independent Video nomination at the recent MuchMusic Video Awards.
The “O My Heart” video blends stop motion and live action and features the band performing as 3-inch paper cut outs glued to cardboard backings inside a colorful diorama that rests inside a youngster’s bedroom. The narrative ties into the performance and eventually leads to the band performing the ending of the song inside the young boys chest, on top of his broken and still beating paper-maché heart, until it patches itself back together.
Mother Mother also just confirmed a run of live dates that kicks off October 2 in Peterborough, Ontario and reaches the States on October 22 in Cambridge, MA:
