Mothertongue - Unsongs (2016)

An progressive-pop melting pot with touches of punk and ska thrown in for good measure, Mothertongue defies any form of categorisation - the band’s stated influences include anything from science fiction to imaginary numbers and dinosaurs! With incisive, intelligent lyrics and first-class musicianship, the band’s debut album Unsongs is unlike anything you will have heard in recent years. The music will lead you on a rollercoaster journey of acid jazz inventiveness that’s a big heap of noisy and light and also includes a lot of brass!
