Bedfordshire four-piece French Mothers put their typical anthemic indie rock to one side to release the spellbinding new single ‘Glass Figures’.
Hailing from Leighton Buzzard, the band have released a “hymn for the disenchanted” as ‘Glass Figures’ is an atmospheric tune with soaring vocals and a cathedral sized wall-of-sound.
Treading the line between defeat and release, sadness and triumph, French Mothers turn quiet contemplation into a soul striking anthem sent soaring towards the rafters.
Poetic lyrics from frontman Mark Harris make scenes appear and pass like a mind slide show, searching for the pieces of a puzzle that may never be complete.
Mark said: “A song about uncertainty, confusion and depression for them asses, ‘Glass Figures’ ponders whether we’re happy with our directions in life, or if we’re all doomed.
“The song took shape from the opening lines, “Monday may see murder, I see it on the train. Dreams of conscious strangers, begging for their beds”, setting the tone perfectly and flourishing into what you hear today.”
Produced by Sam Bloor at Lower Lane Studios, ‘Glass Figures’ is the third release from a trio of songs recorded in those sessions, including ‘Lovely Day To Die’ and ‘The TVs Snowing’.
The band’s production has certainly improved in 2024 and French Mothers have matured into a well-oiled machine.
