#19 | SOCCER MOMMY | color theory
Loma Vista | Official Store

According to Steven Ovadia: “Second albums are notoriously challenging to make, but Soccer Mommy has created something every bit as good as Clean. This is largely because Allison hasn't changed too many things. The songs are still strong. The vocals are still captivating. The instrumentation still flutters in and out of focus, making it feel like you're intermittently dozing during a particularly dull meeting. But she's added in more complex song structures in addition to heavier grooves. So she's essentially taken what worked well the first time and managed to only enhance the things that needed to be, while keeping everything else perfect.”
