History
Photoshoot for the duos single, Pray
Larena and Elyse Winn were raised in Missoula, Montana, in a strict Mormon household. After leaving their religious community, the sisters moved to New York City, where they began developing a musical project together under the name Mothermary.[2]
Drawing on their shared upbringing and experiences leaving organized religion, the duo began writing music that incorporated religious symbolism alongside themes of empowerment, sexuality, and self-definition.[2]
Mothermary’s early releases gained attention within independent electronic and synth-pop circles. Their work came to the attention of Italians Do It Better, an independent label known for its retro-influenced electronic acts. The duo subsequently signed to the label.[3]
