Mama’s Broke is a Nova Scotian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria. They have recently announced their new album, Reunion, due out August 28, 2026, via Free Dirt Records and Forward Music Group. Along with the announcement, they have shared their latest single, “The Nameless.” 

Building on their JUNO-nominated album Narrow Line (2022), Reunion “reflects a world coming apart in plain sight, tracing fractured communities, the erosion of shared ground, and the growing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold or deliver the promises they were meant to keep.”

The band explains:

‘The Nameless’ are the women who are often reduced, in memory and history, to narrow, simplified roles, their complexity stripped away in favour of labels they are expected to embody, whether flawlessly or tragically. 

The song is further explained thus:

“The Nameless” presents four archetypes: the “scorned lover”, defined only by the man who left her rather than her own life; the “callous mother” judged by her perceived failures without regard for her struggles; the victim of domestic violence, absorbed into statistics while attention and sympathy lingers on the perpetrator; and the missing daughter, whose story evokes a place like the Highway of Tears, where many women, disproportionately Indigenous, have vanished. The headlines, demographic headings and acronyms will never convey the full story of a life, or the true weight of the violence that women face every day.
