Soccer Mommy, the musical project of beloved Nashville songwriter and musician Sophie Allison, recently announced her staggering new album Evergreen. She has highlighted the more organic production of this record with the breathtaking, acoustic-forward ‘Lost,’ and ‘M,’ and today she shares a new side of the record with ‘Driver.’

A classic, catchy-as-hell Soccer Mommy rocker, ‘Driver’ is a testament to Allison’s spaciness and indecision; it’s a cheeky song about someone who is willing to deal with those flaws, to love you in spite of them.

Soccer Mommy, the musical project of beloved Nashville songwriter and musician Sophie Allison, announces her staggering new album Evergreen today. Allison began her career as a teenager, sharing music on Bandcamp in near-demo form. Recent years have found her enjoying synthesizers and experimental production, thanks to endless studio resources newly at her fingertips. But when Allison wrote the songs for Evergreen, she knew they called for a different touch. Songwriting has always been Allison’s way to sort through life and ground herself, so – as she crafted this album in the wake of a profound and personal loss – it felt important to keep these songs raw and relatable, unvarnished and honest. By opting for more organic production and shining a spotlight on her songwriting, Allison did just that. The result is Evergreen, a sonic return to Soccer Mommy’s roots, but recast on a cinematic scale with the help of acoustic guitars, lush strings and flutes. Nothing overindulgent, everything real.

Evergreen was made by Allison in Atlanta’s Maze Studios with producer Ben H. Allen III (Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Youth Lagoon, Belle and Sebastian), and will be released on October 25 via Loma Vista Recordings.

The 11-track Evergreen animates Allison’s experience with loss through soundscapes that can conjure a sad-eyed daydream or an ecstatic weekend escape. On new single ‘M,’ which follows the previously-released album opener ‘Lost,’ Allison sings to shadows and ghosts. She recognizes that staying so devoted to something that’s gone could be a problem, but for right now, it’s the best she’s got. Listen to the single and watch its Anna Pollack-directed music video below.

Soccer Mommy releases new single ‘Bones’

Next month, Soccer Mommy will release her new full-length album, Sometimes, Forever, produced by Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never, and now she shares another single off of the forthcoming record, ‘Bones’.

Originally written for a rom com, ‘Bones’ is a track that Sophie Allison loved so much she decided not to submit it to the film and keep it for this album instead, and it’s clear why. ‘Bones’ is quintessential Soccer Mommy, featuring sparkling production that highlights the strength of the band as they tear through a dynamic breakdown that nods to the 90s.

Soccer Mommy says: “’Bones’ is a song about struggling with the parts of yourself that you don’t like in a relationship. It’s about wanting to become better for someone and feeling like you’re standing in your own way.”
