"Soccer Mommy, continues to stretch beyond the sparse indie-rock
of her early songs." - The New York Times
"Allison’s ear for vocal and guitar tones remains impeccable...Allison is thriving, equipped with the tools to make a record as bombastic as the ones that first fueled her nostalgic ’90s alt rock dreams." - Pitchfork (Best New Track)
"’Shotgun’ [features] steadfast synths, airtight guitar, and a robust thwunk of a bassline. The mix sounds cleaner and more assertive…a very promising start to Soccer Mommy’s next era, one that we’ll keep on loop for a while."
- Rolling Stone (Song You Need To Know)
"Soccer Mommy recaptures some of the bleary grace of certain mid-’90s alt-rock-radio outliers, and 'Shotgun' has a head-nod beat that gives me flashbacks to Folk Implosion’s 'Natural One'... ...there’s some dizzy romanticism in the way the song explodes, again and again. " - Stereogum (#1 Best Song of the Week)
"sharp indie rock." - Vulture
"Unholy Affliction delves into a grimy, methodical space with textured instrumentals and unsettling vocals. Soccer Mommy continues to push the boundaries of her ’90s alt-rock-inspired music." - SPIN
The weightless song spins delicately layered harmonies and mystical synths into an end-of-the-world reverie; the impending apocalypse has never sounded so jaw-droppingly beautiful. “I didn't want to make something super depressing without any sense of magic,” Sophie explains. “We played around with the space to make the song feel vast, so newdemo had a huge transformation in the studio. It’s one of my favorites off of the record.” The song premiered today alongside a conversation with Zane Lowe on Apple Music - listen to the interview now here and listen to newdemo here.
Sometimes, Forever is Sophie Allison’s boldest and most aesthetically adventurous work yet, and cements her status as one of the most gifted songwriters making rock music right now. It sees Allison once again tapping into the turn-of-the-millennium sensibilities she’s known for, as she advances her self-made sonic world beyond the present and into the future with experimental-minded production, an expanded moodboard of vintage touchstones, and some of her most sophisticated songwriting to date. Inspired by the concept that neither sorrow nor happiness is permanent, Sometimes, Forever is a fresh peek into the mind of an artist who synthesizes everything — retro sounds, personal tumult, the relatable disorder of modern life — into original music that feels built to last a long time. Maybe even forever. The album is available to pre-order here.
Soccer Mommy released the critically-acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated sophomore album, color theory, in 2020. Following the release of the album, Allison earned mass acclaim, with performances opening for Bernie Sanders, numerous headline dates sold out months in advance, festival slots at the likes of Glastonbury, and her late-night debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The album made its AAA Top 20 debut after release, was #1 NACC Top 200 for four weeks running, and debuted on the following Billboard charts: #1 Top New Artist Albums, #1 Alternative New Artist Albums, #4 Current Alternative Albums, #4 LP Vinyl Albums, #6 Current Rock Albums, #16Top Current Albums and in the Billboard Top 200.
