An eclectic American indie outfit known for their stylistic verve, the Mommyheads combine power pop, art rock, new wave, prog, and other errant genres into their signature mix. Originating out of New York in the late '80s, the group rose from underground success to a stint on Geffen Records with their self-titled Don Was-produced 1997 album before disbanding a year later. The Mommyheads reunited in 2008 and have continued to nurture their status as a beloved cult band, especially in Scandinavia, where they found an unexpectedly robust fan base. The group's second act has been particularly prolific with highlights like 2010's Finest Specimens and 2018's Soundtrack to the World's End. Released in 2023, the Mommyheads' 15th LP, Coney Island Kid, was a concept album examining Brooklyn in the 1970s.
