Taste Test: Motherfolk sucked dry from the past with new song, ‘Fine with It’
The alt-rock band explore the emotional urgency of a past’s hauntings with a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
We’re never truly free from the past. It haunts us as a shadow shrinking and elongating on the sidewalk in the hot summer sun. It hangs off our bones, too, like laundry on the line. Alt-rock band Motherfolk give a voice to this feeling of dread, clear and heavy. With “Fine with It,” the Ohio band ⏤ of Nathan Dickerson, Bobby Paver, Karlie Dickerson, Clayton Allender, Joel Call and Ethan Wescott ⏤ succumb to the numbness that seeks to strip them completely of any and all humanity. Yet it also operates on high-emotional alert, slickly sewing up and down, in and out of every possible reactionary mode. “Do they ever scare you / Shadows moving on the walls,” the lamentation escapes fragile hearts, an alarming confection that slips away into the night sky.
“Fine with It” samples the band’s new album, Family Ghost, expected everywhere November 1.
