After a six-year hiatus, The Young Mothers return with Better If You Let It, their long-awaited third album released in 2025 on Sonic Transmissions Records. The band was born when Norwegian bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten relocated to Austin, TX in 2009, inspired by the city's remarkably diverse music scene to create something that bridged worlds. The result is a genre-defying sound that weaves together jazz, hip-hop, prog-rock, electronics, and free improvisation into something entirely their own.
Better If You Let It showcases The Young Mothers at their most ambitious, balancing meticulously crafted compositions with spontaneous free improvisation. Standout moments like "Song for a Poet" demonstrate the band's ability to conjure deeply emotional, haunting soundscapes — a tribute to a father lost, recorded with deep transatlantic musical roots. For fans of adventurous, boundary-pushing music that refuses to be boxed into a single genre, this album is a compelling and rewarding listen.
