Mother Mother -- "Problems"

I have spent a great deal of time travelling this past week, which meant I spent a lot of time hardly paying attention to the book I was reading, while paying much more attention to whatever I was listening to. I listened to nearly every "big" album release of the year and it finally came to me: this year hasn't been instantly gratifying at all. Not to say that there haven't been a lot of great records, but rather that those records often took time to settle in (i.e. Radiohead's The King of Limbs). However, after a long five and a half hour Bolt Bus ride to Boston, I finally heard a record that was instantly gratifying on first listen: Mother Mother's Eureka. Eureka is the third release from this Vancouver outfit. This band has an energy that I haven't heard from a band in quite some time. Their songs are as cunning as they are fun as hell. I can't get enough of this record. Big ups to We Listen For You for writing about his band.
