The Mother Hips offer anthemic, classic-minded rock punctuated by falsetto howls and soaring, multi-layered orchestration, all tempered by a fundamentally NorCal-style experimental rawness. The band clearly includes a bunch of record-store rats, with references to the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield aplenty, but its reflective, forward-leaning melodies and harmonies transcend genre with ease. Catchy hooks and slide guitar, stories of Boho life that border on the silly, and hazy observations on human angst overlap in songs that sit comfortably next to their canonical influences.
