Event information

Sophie Allison has always written candidly about her life, making Soccer Mommy one of indie rocks most interesting and beloved artists of the last decade. Allison has used Soccer Mommys songs as a vehicle to sort through the thoughts and encounters that inevitably come with the reality of growing up. After all, Soccer Mommy began as a bedroom-to-Bandcamp exercise with teenage Allison posting her plaintive songs as demos. Over the years, though, she has often enhanced that sound, using the endless production possibilities, newly at her fingertips, to outstrip singer-songwriter stereotypes. The records would start with songwritings kernels of truth, and she would then imagine all the unexpected shapes they could take. Every Soccer Mommy record has felt like a surprise. On Soccer Mommys fourth album, the tender but resolute Evergreen, Allison is again writing about her life. But that lifes different these days: Since making her previous album, 2022s Sometimes, Forever, Allison experienced a profound and also very personal loss. New songs emerged from that change, unflinching and sometimes even funny reflections on what she was feeling. (Speaking of funny, this is a Soccer Mommy album, so theres an ode to Allisons purple-haired wife in the game Stardew Valley, too.) These songs were, once again, Allisons way to sort through life, to ground herself. She wanted them to sound that way, too, to feel as true to the demosraw and relatable, unvarnished and honestas possible. The songwriting would again lead where the production would follow. Nothing overindulgent, everything real.
