Mother of the Forest - We met at a rave

Mother of the Forest unveils a new sound. Less dark, more urgent, more vocal. From the upcoming album "Young punk", to be released... eventually.

MP3: Mother of the Forest - Owl

I really appreciate that Mother of the Forest has a well-defined and instantly recognizable sonic palette. Which is not to say that all his songs sound the same per se, but there's never any doubt as to the artist's identity. The new album "Drunk forever" continues exploring much of the same dark paths as his earlier EPs and then some, beginning with "Condor" and ending with the surprising howling black metal outro of "Owl", each tune taking on the title of a different bird. I can only speculate as to his influences, but there's a freshness to his approach that makes he believe he's not some sort of minimal synth revivalist, but rather someone who stumbled across his own sound in a far more organic fashion. Not that it matters just as long as he never stoops to trodding out the same tired pseudo-fascist tropes as so many others -- the re-contextualization of black metal is far more interesting anyhow, along with whatever else he's bringing to the table. Very recommended!

The new full-length album "Drunk forever" from Mother of the Forest is now available as a free download: http://periferinac.blogspot.com/2011/05/prf-021-mother-of-forest-drunk-forever.html
The last two EPs he did were great dark lo-fi electro/goth/industrial, so I'm hoping this is more of the same.

MP3: Mother of the Forest - Vid berget

Taking a cue from Swedesplease to focus your attention on Mother of the Forest and his new EP "Ryka i ro", which was recently posted for free download here. As Craig rightfully points out, this is for fans of creative music that takes risks and is far, far more exciting than the typically mediocre guitar rock that gets sent my way. It also helps that it fits in nicely with a lot of the other similarly minded goth/industrial clatter I've been listening to as of late. As for a more direct comparison, Sällskapet comes to mind, though Mother of the Forest is much weirder, taking far more influence from The Bear Quartet's noisier efforts. As if it wasn't obvious by having Matti provide guest vocals. Anyhow, Mother of the Forest is great and the EP is free, so you really can't go wrong. Listen and help spread the word!
