Oxford based indie rock four-piece Mother have announced the release of their debut EP Remnants Of A Wasted Dream after the successful release of their debut single Petrichor back in January receiving support from BBC Introducing Oxford, and leading to their first hometown sell-out show.
Comprising of Josh Alden (guitar/vocals), Sam Alden (drums), Danny Fisher (guitar) and Everton Barbato (bass), the foursome have played together for the past 3 years in various projects. As their newest project, Mother represents everything the boys have always wanted to create musically. Taking influence from an eclectic range of artists, such as Radiohead, Bob Dylan and Foals, Mother is the incarnation of years of musical attributes.
Their debut EP Remnants Of A Wasted Dream was a talking point on their BBC Introducing interview, where the boys discuss how the title was chosen as it can be interpreted in a number of ways. Lending itself to the sensation of waking up from a dream with a vague memory of its content and a feeling of missing out lingering all day. Remnants Of A Wasted Dream refers to the awareness that your dream could have provided a useful subconscious insight into your state of mind.
Produced by Mark Gardener, frontman of legendary Oxford shoe gaze outfit ‘Ride’, the 5-track EP offers diversity yet structure. Drawing from eclectic influences of Bob Dylan, Radiohead and Foals, Mother present the distinctive vocal line of Josh accompanied by melodic guitar riffs, a clean bass line and punchy drum driven tracks.
Remnants Of A Wasted Dream will available to stream and download via all major media providers from Friday February 9 and more releases are expected from Mother throughout 2018.
