Soccer Mommy returns with the announcement of new album Sometimes, Forever

It hasn’t been very long since Soccer Mommy—a.k.a Sophie Allison—released Color Theory in 2020, but there’s still a ton of anticipation for a new record given the critical acclaim her last one received (it was The A.V. Club’s fourth best album of the year). Now, fans’ wishes are being granted: Soccer Mommy’s next record, Sometimes, Forever, is out on June 24 via Loma Vista.

The record was produced by Oneohtrix Point Never (who also made our list of best albums of 2020) and is described as being “partially inspired by the push and pull between Allison’s desire to make meaningful art and her skepticism about the mechanics of careerism, as well as the artless administrative chaos that comes with it,” per the digital press kit.

With the announcement of the LP, Soccer Mommy has released lead single “Shotgun,” and it’s arguably one of her best tracks yet. Dreamy yet lively, the song possesses a winning combination of killer bassline, shoegaze-infused riffs, and honeyed vocals.

Soccer Mommy also kicks off a tour today, March 23, with Peel Dream Magazine, and also just announced the European leg of the tour, including a spot opening for Haim in Dublin. See the full list of tour dates below.
