full of beautiful, eerie, unfamiliar sounds.” – SOMA
Oakland, California’s Metal Mother has
posted “Mind_Off”, an album cut from her upcoming sophomore
full-length Ionika, scheduled for release Feb 26th,
2013 on the Post Primal label. The album is Metal
Mother’s follow-up to 2011’s Bonfire Diaries.
“I like metal but that is not my sound at all,” explains Tara
Tati, the woman behind Metal Mother, in an interview with Performer
Magazine for its cover story on the artist last year.Tati took
the stage name as a way to exemplify the power and strength that comes with
being maternal, embodying a force of nature with strength and fierceness.
Tati makes good on the sonic promise of Bonfire
Diaries with the upcoming Ionika’s “Mind_Off.” It’s
a sound akin to an avant-dance underworld – heavily reflective, enigmatic and
textured. The track teems with the existential vulnerability that caused
listeners to take notice when Metal Mother emerged in
2011. “Mind_Off” will be followed by the first official
single from Ionika to be released before the end of
2012.
Metal Mother will also be following-up the
compelling 2011 video for “Shake” which drew further attention to Tati’s
dark, haunting themes with its eerie cinematography and earthy visuals.
