Swedish artist Murex has shared “Mothers Bells“, the new single from her debut album Inventio, out the 25th of September, 2026, via Young. It arrives with an accompanying self-directed video.

Honouring her mother, Murex’s “Mothers Bells” explores “a longing for understanding and forgiveness”. A set of bells hanging in the hallway of her mother’s home became an image Murex often returned to, “an imaginary compass and fixed point of orientation amid uncertainty.”

Murex says:

These bells, hung up so high so I could always see them, were leading me the right way.

“Mothers Bells” is also the song that “states the album’s purpose most explicitly.”

Murex shares:

I never wanted to make a record that comes up with the answers or solutions. It is most about wanting to understand, connect, and forgive.

The accompanying video is self-directed, as every visual for Inventio has been. Murex is a visual artist as well as a musician, and the record is reflected on throughout by her own pencil drawings.

The album is “deeply informed by storytelling and the spirit of Nordic folklore” and embodies a “journey to confront body dysmorphia, control and a fracturing sense of self.” The record takes its name from Bach’s Inventions, which Murex played growing up on piano, and she brings a Baroque spirit to the album.
