Swedish Alternative Slowrock/Melancholic Folk duo Moon Mother has unveiled the official music video for the new single “World in a Glass Jar” taken from upcoming album, “Meadowlands,” set for release on February 06, 2026.
Watch the video for “World in a Glass Jar” via the YouTube player below:
Moon Mother is the voice that’s echoing in the darkness of a starless night to remind you about the coming morning. With an architecture made out of earthy alternative slowrock and melancholic Atmospheric Folk with a nordic vibe the duo from Sweden is always evolving as they’re paving out their way by dancing to the beat of their own drum while building the world around their musical universe with deep artistic integrity and vision.
— Chapter II of the Moon Mother Saga begins this October —
Since the release of their first album in 2023 the duo has played frequently around Sweden and many who have seen them live agree that they are witnessing the beginning of something truly special. With a spellbinding force and soulful performance they break peoples hearts just to put them back together again and they leave a strong imprint on those who cross their path.
Coming from different roots musically there is something unique happening when the down to earth folk and soul-stirring Psychedelic landscapes that has a spirit similar to Pink Floyd mixed with the old school, 90’s vibing Grunge attitude of Pats guitar playing meets Sara‘s poetry, thought provoking storytelling and wild melodies.
The music is never put into a box but rather experimented with which becomes a genre bending symphony with a Dark and Doom-laden undertone that they are calling “månrock“. A world of its own where darkness, grief and tragedy are being weaved into glimpses of light and where the expression of the song dances boldly at its core.
Sara’s voice has a depth and authentic presence to it that reaches into your soul and demands your attention.
With a sensitivity and connection to her vivid inner world and to the world around her she connects to the listener through layers of feelings and experience.
There is a wise tone and a classic humbleness to her singing, a flow of mystery and prose with a melancholic nuance of Nick Cave-like melodrama combined with something very raw and primal that doesn’t fail to evoke bone deep emotions.
Someone said that “It’s like Leonard Cohen and Enya are singing a duet with the blackbirds at the blue hour on a desolate meadow somewhere in a dream” and that’s truly the vibe and spirit of Moon Mother. Sara doesn’t hide away from the dark night or from life’s suffering, she dives right into it as she bravely shares her story and deepest secrets straight from the fires to reclaim her place as a woman in this world.
Their upcoming album and the second chapter of The Moon Mother Saga is a powerful development of their previous released works. They have recorded and self-produced the album once again in their home but this time they collaborated with the drummer Robert Hall who gave it all a heartbeat. Then they teamed up with Hans Olsson at Svenska Grammofonstudion who put the cherry on the cake of it all with a majestic mix and master. The final work is a massive, hauntingly beautiful and dark journey through the spiral of life, the decay and rot of autumn, the heavy death of winter and the glimmering rays of the first sunrise of spring. An enchanted dance between hope and despair that’s hiding in the holes of grief, deep isolation, surviving sexual abuse, addiction and intergenerational trauma but still finding ways to hold on and keep fighting.
Those who enter will transcend into the holy world of Meadowlands, the place outside, the place within.
“The whole album started as a nudge in September of 2024 as I had felt haunted by the phrase “being a witness” for some time. I knew it was an album coming. By the time we got to November all the human interactions and ego ideas about it all had left the building and the work very violently just came flowing. That is when you take the back seat and just let the magic work you. This first single “It comes with Shadows” marked that transition and was the first song that made it to the album, it had to be the first single to release into the world as the beginning of this journey too.” — Sara Mehner (vocalist & composer)
