Our Mother have shared the video for their latest track, ‘Heaven’, ahead of their London show at The Pickle Factory on March 30th.

Described as a “homage to karaoke”, the video sees singer John Hartley alone on stage while the rest of the band look on. Subtly funny, sombre and slightly bizarre the video offers a window into the world Our Mother have created for themselves, not just through their distinct and original music but through the intriguing personality they inject into everything they do.

Tottenham-based four-piece Our Mother have shared new track, ‘Heaven‘, ahead of their London show at The Pickle Factory this month.

‘Heaven‘ occupies a realm that doesn’t quite feel like real life; jitttery percussion clashes with punchy video game samples whilst dominating horns and synths rumble and jolt through catchy choruses and overlapping hooks, soundtracking a world that is entirely of their own making.

Our Mother continue to reinvent and push themselves, the only thing that remains constant is widespread praise of the fact that this is a group with their own distinct style. ‘Heaven’ comes as no exception.

Following the release of their A.O.B. EP earlier in the year, the Tottenham-based Our Mother return with their new single “Just Don’t” – a work of subtle beauty that cements the four of them, John Hartley, Joseph Charlton, Liam Garrett and Paul Kowalewski, at the forefront of forward-thinking electronic pop.

Our Mother have today shared a remix of ‘La Ritournelle’ by Sébastian Tellier. Infusing their own heady and baroque video-game aesthetic into an indisputable classic in this new mix, Our Mother’s version of ‘La Ritournelle’ features exceptional bass and stabbing, staccato synths punctuating the now broken voice of Tellier. Hinting at the band’s fascination with the Berlin techno scene, they bring an air of the forlorn to an already beautifully melancholy track.

Our Mother  release their debut EP A.O.B. tomorrow 29th April 2016. Today the band share a fantastic remix of ‘Surprise Machine’ by Tomoya Forster of Pumarosa, alongside the news that they’re also streaming their debut EP via DIY.

The remix by Forster – which also features contributions from Eliot Gelberg Wilson (Double Bass), Robb Dixxon (Guitar) and Julian Vicary (MS10) – expands the idiosyncratic, left-field pop world of Our Mother by adding fresh instrumentation (including a highly propulsive bass line) and thick layers of distortion that skyrockets the original chorus to new heights.

To celebrate the EP’s release, the band will play a show at London’s The Waiting Room on 3 May. Tickets are available here. A.O.B. EP can be pre-ordered digitally from iTunes or on limited, heavyweight vinyl via Rough Trade. Watch the previously shared video for ‘Surprise Machine’ (as premiered on NOWNESS) here.
