Description
Having set New York City and beyond ablaze with their live wire shows, a string of EPs, and their 2016 self-titled debut on Metal Blade Records, Mother Feather return with Constellation Baby - definitively restating their position as one of the most exciting and unique rock & roll acts on the circuit. This is deeply felt NYC rock & roll as it should be: towering riffs and now-or-never urgency, bolstered by pop precision and purity of mission.Of course, upping the ante is no small feat when a fevered fan base expects greatness. "All I knew was that I needed the new album to be awesome," states band leader Ann Courtney. "'Mother Feather' is such an empowered album, and when I began working on the new material, I was really struggling to feel that way. I knew this album needed to be even better than the first, and to capitalize on its momentum it had to happen quickly. It was a tremendous amount of pressure to put myself under, and it was a dragon I knew I wanted to slay alone - at least at the beginning." Never one to falter, Courtney locked herself away to write, to face her depression and to stare down some uncomfortable feelings. "Truthfully, I went to some very dark and lonely places. But once I let myself go there, that's when the album started to take shape. There's a lot of fever and intimacy in those songs. I laid myself bare." And with her band - vocalist/keyboardist Elizabeth Carena, guitarist Chris Foley, and drummer Gunnar Olsen - ready to help her fully realize the songs, the result is a collection which is as cathartic as it is exuberant. "We are diving way deeper into the question, 'Who is Mother Feather?' and I think that the answer is extremely emotional. It's eclectic, but it all sounds like Mother Feather. This album will definitely expand what that means."Anyone exposed to Constellation Baby will be immediately struck by its sublime melodies and irresistible, danceable grooves, particularly on tracks like "Shake Your Magic 8 Ball," which Courtney says is about "unlocking the answers to life' -
