In a world that feels heavier by the day, music has a way of lifting us back up. Nostalgia, the latest album from indie alt-rock icons Mother Mother, is a reminder that art can be both weightless and deeply grounding — a record that invites us to look back, but live forward, with openness, creativity, and joy.
Across the album, the band weaves together themes of authenticity, playful innovation, and emotional courage — values that echo the idea of living lightly. Whether it’s through stripped-down moments of vulnerability or bursts of experimental sound, Nostalgia feels like an open invitation to move through life with curiosity, kindness, and color.
The making of Nostalgia wasn’t just about perfecting arrangements or chasing trends — it was about chasing feelings. Frontman Ryan Guldemond describes their creative compass as purely emotional:
“Is it giving me that rush? Is it making me feel more like myself?”
In one of our conversation clips, Ryan explains why letting emotions lead in the studio made the music better — and why “the proof is in the pudding.”
One of the most striking parts of Nostalgia is how personal it feels — and that’s no accident. Ryan’s advice to the next generation of music creators is to stir your own soul before trying to stir anyone else’s.
Ryan unpacks the beautiful irony that the less you worry about pleasing others, the more they connect with your work — and why that’s the most freeing advice you’ll ever hear.
The album is full of moments that invite you to embrace the bittersweet beauty of change — to carry the past with you without letting it weigh you down.
Each song feels like its own little act of activism — a reminder that even the smallest acts of honesty and joy can ripple outward. Just as Nostalgia encourages us to remember without being trapped in the past, it also invites us to imagine lighter, brighter ways forward.
Because in the end, living lightly isn’t about ignoring the weight of the world — it’s about finding ways to carry it together, with open hands, open hearts, and maybe even a song on repeat.
Whether you’re discovering Mother Mother for the first time or have been singing along for years, Nostalgia is more than just an album — it’s a reminder that staying true to yourself is the boldest, lightest step you can take. And don’t miss the full conversation with Ryan Guldemond on the Sonical.ly Podcast—where he shares more about the making of the album and staying true to your creative voice.
🎧 Listen to Nostalgia wherever you stream music — and let it inspire your own small acts of joy.
