M o t h e r is your new favorite band for the summer. With a definite sound and truly sexy mysterious aesthetic, the band has captivated SoundCloud listeners with a small selection of work. Both "Easy" and "Victim" breathe with seduction and grit. The combination of Penn Badgley's vocals, distinct and precise guitar, and simple melodies build up to a sound that is unique and heart wrenching.
"Easy" is that song you play in your apartment when your roommate is out of town for the week and you have the whole place to yourself. You turn up the volume, bask in the summer's humidity, and strip down to nothing but underwear. You imagine yourself putting on a show, dancing seductively to a mysterious and make-believe audience. The guitar begs to be air played, so you indulge in that for a moment, before sashaying your way to the other side of the apartment and grabbing the coat stand by your front door, using it now as a mic stand. You channel Michael Jackson for a moment while attempting to moon dance. Whether or not you actually can moon dance is besides the point; you're invincible. The song ends and you're dripping with sweat, unsure of what just took place for the last five minutes. You walk to the sink and douse your face in cold water.
"Easy. Don't try to push it, I can pull you in." Well, M o t h e r, you've certainly pulled me in.
