In 2005, they independently released their self-titled debut album under the band name Mother. They later changed their name to Mother Mother, and re-released the album on Last Gang Records in 2007. Retitled ''Touch Up'', the reissue also featured several new songs. The band's second album, ''O My Heart'', was released on September 16, 2008; their third album, ''Eureka'', was released on March 15, 2011;〔("Mother Mother Announce New Eureka LP" ). ''Exclaim!'', December 6, 2010.〕 their fourth album, ''The Sticks'', was released on September 18, 2012; and their fifth album, ''Very Good Bad Thing'' was released on November 4, 2014 with an American release of April 7, 2015 on Def Jam Recordings. ==History== The band began in Vancouver in January 2005, when guitarist and vocalist Ryan Guldemond was at music school and wanted to start a band based on vocal-driven pop songs. He recruited his sister Molly along with a friend from college, Debra-Jean Creelman, to accompany his own vocals for the songs he had written, and the trio played as an acoustic act before adding drummer Kenton Loewen and bassist Jeremy Page. The five members started off playing under the name Mother, and in the fall of 2005, they independently released a self-titled album. This debut album was recorded with Howard Redekopp, who had also worked with The New Pornographers and Tegan and Sara. When the ''Vancouver Province'' rated Mother as one of the top five BC bands to watch for in 2007, they began to receive acclaim for their debut album. Shortly thereafter, Mother landed a nationally broadcast concert opening for K'naan and The Wailin' Jennys. In the summer of 2006, they opened for the Australian band The Cat Empire at the sold-out Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Later that year, they made their debut in central Canada at the Montreal International Jazz Festival on June 29 as well as in Toronto on July 1, Canada Day, at the Harbourfront Centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Montreal International Jazz Festival )〕 In October 2006, after playing a set at the Pop Montreal festival, Mother met with Last Gang Records and later signed a four-album contract. At that point the label encouraged the band to change their name to avoid legal issues, so rather than changing it completely they decided to simply rename themselves Mother Mother. On February 20, 2007, the band re-released its debut album under the new name, renaming the album ''Touch Up'' and including two new songs, as well as artwork and overdubs different from the original. The band released their second album, ''O My Heart'', in 2008. Later that year, on December 3, it was announced that Debra-Jean Creelman had left Mother Mother;〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=myspace.com )〕 on January 26, 2009, the band announced the addition of a new singer/keyboardist, Jasmin Parkin.

On January 9, 2012, Kraft Foods launched a series of television commercials featuring the song "Bright Idea".〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=youtube.com )〕 Mother Mother's fourth album, ''The Sticks'', was released on September 18, 2012.
