Mesmerized

All rise for French Mothers' hymn for the disenchanted and turn your pages to 'Glass Figures'.

Treading the line between defeat and release, sadness and triumph, French Mothers turn quiet contemplation into a soul striking anthem sent soaring towards the rafters.

With spellbinding vocals and poetic lyrics at the forefront of a cathedral sized wall-of-sound, scenes appear and pass like a mind slide show, searching for the pieces of a puzzle that may never be complete. After all, as taken directly from the 'Glass Figures' gospel, "If we’re all tryna fit in, is this puzzle really a ruse?".

Mark Harris (lead vocals) said: "A song about uncertainty, confusion and depression for the masses, 'Glass Figures' ponders whether we’re happy with our directions in life, or if we're all doomed. 

“The song took shape from the opening lines, "Monday may see murder, I see it on the trains / Dreams of conscious strangers, begging for their beds", setting the tone perfectly and flourishing into what you hear today."

Produced by Sam Bloor at Lower Lane Studios, 'Glass Figures' is the third release from a trio of songs recorded in those sessions, with 'Lovely Day To Die' and 'The TVs Snowing' both having been released this year.

French Mothers - Glass Figures

We’re The Draize, a band from SE London mixing jangly guitar vibes with fuzzy, distorted riffs, atmospheric drums, and melodic basslines. Influenced by indie, post-punk, and shoegaze, we take a lot of inspiration from the ‘80s and ‘90s alt-rock scene. We hope you like it!
