Mother Sun (Kamloops, British Columbia) play the kind of indie pop that might be called sophisticated. The songwriting's structures and timing isn't necessarily predicatable and Jared Doherty's lyrics are thematic and thoughtful. In fact, he said, of "Meadow 6",
"On this record with a lot of the lyrics, I became really interested in plants and humans’ relationship with them and the earth; gathering & farming, commodifying & exploiting, researching & controlling, using to alter consciousness. A lot of the early musical ideas started sitting outside playing guitar in the garden. I think with these songs we wanted to create a record that sonically speaks to the magic that is constantly unfolding all around in the natural world."
This kind of makes me think of Elephant 6 bands, The Teeth, Starlight Mints, French Cassettes or The Botticellis.
This is released by the ever-reliable Earth Libraries label based in Birmingham, Alabama.
