Having just released new single ‘Heaven‘, Our Mother waste no time in accompanying the track’s stabbing synth horns and falsetto vocal with a new video. Described as a “homage to karaoke”, the video sees singer John Hartley alone on stage while the rest of the band look on, a little bemused. It’s feels a very British video; depressing…
New track ‘Heaven’ follows ‘Just Don’t‘ as Our Mother’s second new release since their Lucky Number debut ‘A.O.B.‘ It’s a quietly shimmering track with the band’s trademark falsetto vocal pitched among stabbing synth horns.

The latter is far more tender, altogether less angular than the former, but still comes with similarly awesome interactive artwork at ourmother.co.uk. Stream below via SoundCloud.
