Today, Fredericton’s noise rock trio Motherhood released their one-off 2026 single “Kyle Hangs Ten” via Forward Music Group.
The track delivers a raucous, spaghetti western–inspired rock sound that captures the band’s signature intensity, blending gritty textures with an offbeat, high-energy edge.
“Kyle Hangs Ten” offers a thrilling glimpse of what listeners can expect from the trio, showcasing their knack for chaotic yet compelling sonic experimentation.
About the track by Motherhood:
“Usually by the time we release a song, the original influences have been hidden under layers of subterfuge, with our attraction to play far outweighing our ability to stay put.
With ‘Kyle Hangs Ten,’ we were trying to write the most surfy song we could without over-complicating a genre that, at it’s core, is just swaggy country music” explains the band. “Adam had a drum beat that we jammed over, eventually falling into a Miserlou-adjacent guitar melody and filling the rest with pastiches.”
When Motherhood were preparing to record their latest LP, Thunder Perfect Mind, they couldn’t agree on the proper tempo for the song, until Kyle Cunjak (co-producer of the album) suggested both speeding it up AND slowing it down, creating 2 songs with the same bones.
“In the end, the slow version (the spaghetti western “Kyle Hangs at Noon”) made the record and the fast version (“Kyle Hangs Ten”) didn’t,” explains the band, “but we still love the song. Kyle promised us he’d be able to hang 10 by the time this song comes out. If not, he hangs at noon.”
