From ‘Hayloft’ to ‘Burning Pile’, the iconic tracks on Mother Mother’s album O My Heart have seen a resurgence online, flooding Instagram Reels and TikTok videos with love from a new group of fans.
The album itself was originally released in 2008 and my first encounter with it was uploading songs like ‘Arms Tonite’ onto thematic Les Misérables character playlists in the days of 8tracks.
Now, you can hear these songs in short skits about anime protagonists undermining their villains unexpectedly, or as part of YouTube compilations of tunes that your literary antagonist would croon over while balancing their mission for evil with their burgeoning romantic feelings for Y/N.
