[POP] If you’ve been following pop band Mother Mother since their formation in 2005, you might feel a bit weird about seeing them referred to as a pop band. There’s no doubt that that’s what they are—now. But when the Vancouver-based band released their debut album Touch Up in 2007, they weren’t exactly a pop band. Of course, there were aspects of pop music, but it was also really weird. There were frequent sharp pivots from one sound to another; there were acoustic guitars and banjos… and drum machines, but now with their latest release, No Culture, the band sounds more like they’ve listened to a bit too much James Murphy-produced Arcade Fire music. But that’s not a bad thing, unless you’ve been a diehard fan of the band since the beginning, in which case you might feel a bit alienated. But get over it, because these folks put together a pretty rockin’ live show. And you can catch Mother Mother live at the Rapids Theatre this Friday, July 14.
