Motherhood changes everything. Little moments
assume a much greater significance, and every
memory holds the potential to last forever.
Responsibilities expand, yet joy does as well.
The Wandering Hearts intimately explore this
maternal transformation on their aptly titled third fulllength offering and Chrysalis Records debut, MOTHER.
The UK trio - Tara Wilcox [vocals], A.J. Dean [vocals,
acoustic guitar], and Francesca "Chess"Whiffin
[vocals, mandolin] - chronicle this season of growth
and change across eleven tracks.
"During the process, we really found ourselves as a
band. Motherhood has helped us grow and find
meaning. It brought our writing and performing to a
different level." Notes Chess, "From the get-go, it felt
like the most authentic and true representation of
who we are now."
Mother started as a folk EP but incorporates elements
of folk, Americana, rock, blues, pop and more with the
band's vocals tying them all together, A.J. explains
"We were really just making an album for us. We
think the result is the best music we've ever made."
