Nostalgia is the tenth studio album by the Canadian indie rock band Mother Mother. It was released on June 6, 2025 by Parlophone and Warner Records [5] [6] as part of the band's 20th anniversary. [1]

Contents

According to frontman Ryan Guldemond, the goal when creating Nostalgia was to embody a childlike creativity which he believes often becomes elusive later in life, stating each creative choice was evaluated by its emotional impact. [1]

Ryan Guldemond described "Make Believe" by stating he indulged a bit in his own life-philosophy on the track, mentioning "magical thinking, interconnection, cosmic gallivanting." [5]

One song from the album, "Love to Death", was previously leaked online in 2009, becoming a popular song amongst fans of the group. [2] [3]

Ryan Guldemond has described "Finger" as the long-lost sibling of "Verbatim", a song from Mother Mother's debut studio album Touch Up (2007). Guldemond continued by stating that the song delves into perceived double standards within broader society. [4]

Reception

With the release of "Make Believe", the first single from the album, responses included Melodic Magazine describing the single as "[pushing] boundaries musically and aesthetically" [3] and Billboard describing it as "an energetic ode to fantasy and divinity, with a slightly sinister edge", and saying it would fit in a drama soundtrack like Yellowjackets . [7]

Make Believe debuted on the Canada Modern Rock Airplay chart at 39 for the week of March 29, 2025, later moving up throughout the weeks until peaking at 13 for the week of May 10. Make Believe continued to stay on the chart for several weeks afterwards. [7] [8]
