What does your old house look like through a retrograde lens as you stand in it today — empty — years later? Nottttttttttttttttt a problem. Hey Mother Death went and creeped their own and made a video of it for their new single “The Hills.” I mean, maybe, right?
Actually, Hey Mother Death goes deep on this idea of film making here, and in such a simple-yet-heavy manner, which complements their music almost too well, no? As most of the video shows, “The Hills” as a song traverses levels of deterioration, minimal despair, sirening, and lingering within a questionably cleansed and fluttering environment. And as a follow up to their incredible Self Titled self-released cassette from two years ago, the Nova Scotian duo (Denma Peisinger (boy) and Laurence Strelka (gurl); ^_^) are releasing their first album Highway (pre-order) on Snake Power Records (their label; SPR001) this September 2.
Earlier I heard the entirety of Hey Mother Death’s Highway, and it’s exactly how I expected them to step up their game into longer lengths. Shit will get fucking serious come late summer between the swags of Hey Mother Death and new FKA twigs. Also caught our new TMT reviewer Adam Devlin listening it in our music database, and this is what he said to me about it: “I’m really into it so far, actually. It’s making my last few hours of work oddly sensual.” LOVE IT!! HAHAHA
