Swedish dark folk duo Moon Mother to release new single »Those Who Build Cages Will Never Catch My Feet« on April 26th!
Dark & dreamy folk rock duo Moon Mother is rooting and rising with their new single »Those Who Build Cages Will Never Catch My Feet« that is set to be released on April 26th, 2024.
The new single by Swedish duo Moon Mother is fully capturing the atmosphere of when tears turn into roars of strenght and it will be released on all digital platforms by the end of April.
The title »Those Who Build Cages Will Never Catch My Feet« is a statement for itself. Imagine placing your hand upon an old oak and start feeling the energy of it as it’s wise roots start moving underneeth you. You felt lonely but now you feel connected, it all felt hopeless but now you’re remembering your worth and get filled with hope.
That’s a feeling that is presented in the essence of this song through earthy melodies and etheral vocals that is weaving up a soundscape that you’ve never really heard before. All dancing upon a massive ground of down to earth folk blended with attitude and rock n’ roll.
Moon Mother have once again produced a song that has gotten the final touches by swedish producer Henryk Lipp and is presenting another side and layer of their sound to their audience since their debutalbum »She’s A Starry Night« that was released last summer.
The Moon Mother Saga
Sara & Pat, who are the humans behind the being of Moon Mother lives in the western parts of Sweden. Originally the journey begun already in 2016 where the band released some early works and played live around in Sweden. Things took a turn into places where authenticity and soul couldn’t thrive and sometimes you need to rip everything you’ve built apart only to be able to rebuild a new steady ground that feels more true to yourself and can hold what it is that you’re trying to build.
For some time there were no sounds coming from this place but behind the veil of sorrow, tierd hands of a woman with the hope of a fool were watering the seeds of crushed dreams and slowly, slowly her garden began to bloom again and this force once again came back to life.
In the late summer/fall of 2022 the duo begun recording their self-produced debut album in their home. A minimalistic but powerful sound made only with what their two minds, souls and hands could accomplish at this time and place as they wanted to build this new foundation on their own terms, defining their own sound and boldly leaving out some elements for this first release or involving others because of their history.
The album was mixed by the swedish producer Anders Rane (Vintage Loft Studio) and later mastered by producer Henryk Lipp in Gothenburg (Music A Matic Studios). The result became a dark, powerful and beautiful 10 track debut called »She’s A Starry Night«. It’s a sad, heavy, honest, naked and raw ride through the depths of vast sorrow, loneliness, unbearable grief, betrayal, dark nights and pain alongside the beauty, birds, mystique, new beginnings, flowers, hope and magic of our natural world that kept us alive in the darkest days of our lives. It will be released individually by the duo in July of 2023 through their own label Elm & Yarrow.
“She sings her song for the rootless, so that they can find their way back home, back to wise soil where they can root into and find a sense of meaning again, that’s what Moon Mother has been doing for us.”
