about

To take the title of this EP at face value would be a mistake, and slightly reductive. The themes present in As A Mother go far beyond motherhood, and are universal. Love. Comfort. Newness. Happiness. Feeling lost. Feeling at home. Feeling loved. Confusion. Self-belief. The passing of time. The inevitability of change.

Lerryn has been a stalwart of the South East London creative scene for over a decade. The founder of cult creative space Lerryn’s Cafe and later frontwoman of post-punk band Dead Arm, her impact on a DIY scene that has defined a corner of London has been significant.

As A Mother is the first offering from the next chapter of Lerryn’s own life, and the debut release under her own name. It is a record written during her experience of pregnancy, motherhood and a period of profound creative reckoning.

This collection of songs are intimate, sweet and moving. But above all, the EP is sensory, most notably on "You Are My Love", a track that features hat-tips to bottled orange juice, bread, cigarettes, wine and nakedness. The track’s pulsing bass line reflects the trudging monotony of the chaotic early days of motherhood. Pushing a pram uphill to the shop. Going through the motions of endless routines. A shared glance with a tired partner. The keyboard brings optimism. This song was written within a few minutes while on honeymoon in France. “You are my love,” Lerryn sings, “and our lives from here begin.
