MOTHER NATURE – Loving, Joyful and Free

Description

“LOVING, JOYFUL AND FREE” by MOTHER NATURE. Cynical con-marketing for something as unloved, unjoyful and unfree as any SECOND CHILD. Strap it on and you’ll be back yomping through their uncanny valley of HARDCORE STANDARDS. Elevation comes from half-remembered licks, lifted from some strange sources indeed: YDI, LAUGHING HYENAS and even the phasered single-string solos of THE SCIENTISTS. In keeping with the LEEDS credo, there are even some UNSUSTAINABLE PITS scattered about. On “Loving…”, the MAMAS don’t bring THE POPPERS, beyond amyl-headache tempos that remain resolutely mid-. Sure, sometimes they show enough songcraft to court catchy, but these NATURALS never let it cop a full feel. It’s that ol’ ‘show-and-no’, handed down through the corecraft of COLD SWEAT to these MUTHAS.
“ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?” – because these MOTHERLESS FUCKS surely are. CRED piled up in inverse proportion to sales during solid stretches with PERSPEX FLESH, MOB RULES,BRAIN DEAD, WHIPPING POST and THE FLEX. But by 2025, long robbed of their youth and beauty, what was left but to grow older and uglier.
MOTHER NATURE ain’t looking right pretty, but she’s whispering your name again….Friend, that’s some OEDIPAL KICK right there. – Conor Rickford
