about
Bold, dramatic, and full of infectious hooks, Mother Mania is a cross hemispheric smash collaboration between UK based synthwave producer Neilio, and the breakout Australian based retrowave vocalist ELYXIR. This high octane guitar driven synth bop packs an absolute punch, with ferocious licks, slaps, and guitar riffs combined with a potently catchy melodic topline: a stellar debut of songwriting and production for the creative pair.
lyrics
VERSE 1
Your calculated distraction
Through algorithmic destruction
Like me! You say I need you to "like me" now
Cold hands, warm suffocation
True likes, fake condemnation
Guilty? You don't care if I'm guitly no!
PRE
Immortal enemy: war in reality
I'm just a casualty of your calamity
CHORUS
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I try to fight you
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I try to fight you
VERSE 2
You take the lead and say "follow"
Coercion 'til we are hollow
Silence: you say I'm violent with silence now
The cards were stacked in your favor
Yet you're desperate now for a savior
You caused the storm, you're a traitor, a traitor!
PRE
Immortal enemy: war in reality
I'm just a casualty of your calamity
CHORUS
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I try to fight you
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I try to fight you
(I tried I tried I tried)
(I tried I tried I tried)
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
BRIDGE
There's no escape, there's no return
I'm just collateral to burn
I'll drift away, embrace your arms
Oh mother mother save me now
Mother save me now
(Mother, mother)
(Mother, mother)
(Mother, mother mania)
(Mother, mother)
Mother, mother
CHORUS
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I tried to fight you
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
Mother, mother mania
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried, I tried
OUTTRO
Take me, take me mother mania
Save me, save me mother mania
Take me, take me mother mania
Mother mother mother
Mother mania

Russell Nash came into my music collection with an unexpected Fury, releasing his debut album around the same time as mine. After hearing his creative and masterful drum progressions, I immediately knew i needed to step up my work. Great work and a must for 2022. Alex Lightspeed
Nailed it… again! Nash brings us another rubber burning, retro infused ride. Very reminiscent of the classic arcade driving games. The tempo, composition and variation in these tracks is brilliant. This is how it’s done! RoccoDestro
An instrumental queer space opera from Portland synthwave artist Amie Waters, who uses a universal mythos to illustrate a personal journey. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 14, 2020
On the gorgeously unsettling new record from Ariahindream, haunting vocal melodies drift through dark, swirling clouds of electronics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 29, 2023
Just keeps building and building then sends you down the rabbit hole wondering what's next!!
This artist is definitely progressing in its genre and honing into its own style of synthwave!
And it sounds, Raw AF!! Scott
