HAPPY 2012!!!
Heya,
We had fun in 2011. The Rabbit, fast and feisty, was a fine host and we enjoyed chasing this wily hare around the globe with our Archimedian cohort, EUREKA. Our 3rd LP has been a confident companion, fearless of the unbeaten path, but not too good for the map. It made for a smooth yet unpredictable itinerary which documented over 100 gigs for Mother Mother, and many more extrapolating experiences. While these adventures were elaborate and all consuming, they were also quite inspiring which let down the drawbridge of creativity to pastures of new imaginings. So we find ourselves swimming in a dark ocean of new songs which are perhaps less like the water itself and more like the Leviathan who will pull you under or eat your feet. This may sound macabre, but it’s just the mystery of the ocean floor, black as deadness where the ugly unnamed demersal exist amidst alien kelp and cloudy mire: Deeper than where moody fishies wag fins and certainly not where the rooster crows or the lion pounces. We’ve been to these places and down the rabbit hole too from which we’ve been smoked out by The Dragon’s fire. Here in the wake of a megalopolitan inferno, we gaze at the smouldering chrome and befallen machines, using sticks to swat away the snaky ghosts of flailing live wires. Here we greet the New Year. And the Unknown.
To the Mayans on down, happy 2012.
Love,
Mother Mother
