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. 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 June 6. Pre-order/pre-save HERE.
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.
Billboard raved, “The song is an energetic ode to fantasy and divinity, with a slightly sinister edge. It wouldn't sound out of place on the soundtrack for a TV drama like Yellowjackets, which plays with the line between magic and mistake.” Melodic Magazine marveled at how, “Mother Mother continues to push boundaries musically and aesthetically, nodding to what the next two decades will hold.” WHEN THE HORN BLOWS professed, “This track is a bold first taste of the expansive and cohesive creative palette Mother Mother has crafted for their upcoming album.
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 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.

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.
In making their tenth studio album, Mother Mother have achieved something few acts get the chance to: freedom in creativity, resulting in a record that feels both true to their legacy and gesturing towards the next two decades ahead. Stay tuned for more as the group dives into Nostalgia and the journey in front of them.
