If It's Too Loud...

Mama's Broke, the post-folk Canadian duo of Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, have just released a break up song that might be their most accessible yet. While the previous singles from their upcoming album have a certain darkness or a sense of foreboding, "How it Ends" sounds relatively upbeat. Considering this is a song about how you never think you'll find someone as good as your ex after a break up, that's quite a feat. This is a traditional folk song with some slightly modern folk harmonies. As much heartbreak as their is in "How it Ends," there is also the warmth of remembering a recent relationship. You can listen to "How it Ends" below. Narrow Line is due out May 13 on Free Dirt Records, and can be pre-ordered here . For more on Mama's Broke, check out the artist's website .

Canadian duo Mama's Broke are masters of crafting haunting traditional folk songs with a modern feel. Their latest is "Narrow Line," which is a laid back song with a certain intensity that can't help but draw you in. The song has a somewhat positive feel with a disquieting sense of foreboding that keeps peeking out. As beautiful as the song is, it's also going to make you feel a little anxious. Getting back to the haunting quality, it's like staying in a gorgeous old house and enjoying yourself, except you can't quite tell if you're imagining seeing something move in that corner. That's just the vibe of Mama's Broke. As gorgeous as the music may be, there is a darker meaning underneath the music. You can watch the video for "Narrow Line" below.

Canadian duo Mama's Broke, consisting of Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, met on the road on a drive from Montreal to Nova Scotia. The pair formed the band a week later and started touring almost non-stop. The pandemic obviously put a stop to that, but allowed for them to hunker down and write their new album between remote cabins and apartments in Montreal. Their latest single, "Just Pick One," was written in Amy's uninsulated cabin, and somehow sounds like it was. The song is a haunting traditional folk song with a little modern folk thrown in. Think if a band like First Aid Kit was from Appalachia instead of Sweden. The song just sounds icy, as it was written in a cabin in eastern Canada. It's a beautiful folk song, although there is something a little isolating and off-putting about it, which I mean as a compliment. You can listen to "Just Pick One" below.
