This is the first attempt at musical immortality by the troubadourial trio Mother Tongue. Descretely drawing influences from the likes of Frank Zappa, Brian Eno and Barry White, their prime directive is to push the integral envelope. Dispassionate toward convention, though never so much so as to miss out a good lick now and then, and outlanders to borders, new avenues are the only compass point worth following for Mother. Mother's oft-time non-linear musical commentary on the human condition promises to offer new insights at every listen.
