{"product_id":"o-my-heart","title":"O My Heart","description":"In some cases, artsy groups that delight in being self-indulgent and eccentric aren't terribly worried about accessibility. Their attitude is that if you appreciate and comprehend what they're doing, great -- and if not, so be it. But Mother Mother's second album, O My Heart, is music that achieves a healthy, attractive balance of accessibility and artsy experimentation. It isn't as though alternative pop\/rock\/folk-rock offerings such as \"Wrecking Ball,\" \"Arms Tonight,\" and \"Wisdom\" are apologetic about being quirky and skewed; in fact, this part-male, part-female group from Canada sound like they are having a great deal of fun providing off-center lyrics. But while O My Heart certainly doesn't go out of its way to be accessible lyrically, it is quite accessible musically. O My Heart has something that other \"artsy-as-hell-and-proud-of-it\" discs lack: hooks. There are hooks galore on this 2008 release. So even if listeners have a hard time absorbing a song's lyrics and figuring out what the song is trying to get across, Mother Mother's abundance of honest-to-God hooks make O My Heart easy to digest on a musical and melodic level. Musically, O My Heart is often infectious, and that musical infectiousness pulls the listener in regardless of how abstract the lyrics can be. Mother Mother showed a lot of promise on their appealing, if imperfect, debut album, Touch Up; they still have some growing and developing to do, but all things considered, O My Heart is a creative success for the Canadian unit. ~ Alex Henderson","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48132233134245,"sku":"060270082113","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/ca0363c8677b2f66e28725599b05adaa.jpg?v=1786478012","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-au\/products\/o-my-heart","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
