Motherhood’s Charmingly Eclectic “Grow High” Juxtaposes Whimsical Playfulness With Post-Punk Aggression

Motherhood charges right into the beginning of “Grow High” with a charming exuberance. But then treats us to some unorthodox rhythmic changes throughout the song that transforms what some might interpret as quirky into some exciting and intense passages of raw post-punk fury on full display in the imaginative musical video. The juxtaposition of playfulness with scenes seemingly of people checking out a solar eclipse, as many did in 2024, and the climax of the song and its nearly hardcore punk level of aggression makes “Grow High” seem like a wonderful dream in miniature with all the drama and unique melodic appeal one might want from a song that doesn’t restrict itself to a narrow genre. Watch the video for “Grow High” on YouTube and follow the trio from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada at the links provided. The group’s new album Thunder Perfect Mind is out January 24, 2025 on vinyl, CD, digital download and streaming.
