Vancouver indie-rock quintet Mother Mother charms the dickens out of discerning ears with carefully crafted avant pop layered in clever lyricism, peppy guitars, and interweaving boy-girl harmonies. Proudly parenting their third album, Eureka!, siblings Ryan and Molly Guldemond lead Mother Mother through punchy nuggets and brisk anthems that are energetic enough to awaken hibernating bears. Voltroning onto the electric bill, Toronto’s Sweet Thing pep rallies audiences with tracks from their self-titled debut, armed with propulsive guitars, unapologetic reservoirs of spazz, and vocals that are as uplifting as reading a self-help book while being shot out of a cannon.
