As debut singles go, ‘MOTHER’ is a true standout. Embracing an electrifying and partly gloomy alt-rock outlook, the single balances sonic grit and lyrical relatability rather perfectly, making for a record that’s hard-hitting on both fronts. It will appeal to the rock crowd, as well as anyone looking for a more alternative discovery that still carries a strong message. Meet CHANNELS, your new favourite band from Chicago.
Of course, whether they will actually become your favourite band is debatable, but what we can tell you is that from what we have heard so far, the sky’s the limit. Formed by Kelsey Montanez, Hannah Hovland Johnson, and Jesse Greco, the American trio has teamed up with producer Noam Wallenberg of Rax Trax Recording, transforming ‘MOTHER’ into an instant banger. Vocals are bold yet expressive, even slightly hypnotic. Should we even talk about the massive chorus?
From a lyrical standpoint, the song threads the fine line between spiritual rebellion and societal decay, striking a chord with popular culture and fully rising to the challenge of a decadent society. As we are told: “MOTHER depicts a divine intervention calling us to open our minds and rebel against illusion.” In that sense, the dual female vocals resonate loud and clear, evoking the timeless matriarchal spirit.
