Lia Kuri
Motherland

Motherland is an electrified open letter to our dying planet. A gleaming beacon of urgent light saying, "Breathe. Keep going. Heal. Please."

Speaking out about exponential population growth and the maldistribution of resources ("Single Digit Story") to greed of humanity ("Loon Moon") to self-destruction from humans ("Poltergeist") to capitalism and industrialization ("Highland"), this is just as much an album about caring for family as it is an album about caring for humanity, where Lia urges for natural regeneration. Growth. An end to the factory-assembled chaos. Some songs are like pleas while others are neoclassical spiritual meditations. What might exist after humans inevitably die off? What can be done while we're still here? This album, Motherland, is a reflection, a mission statement, a mantra. An angelic voice, shouting into the night, offering a hand to hold to help the heal.
