Soccer Mommy, the musical project of beloved Nashville songwriter and musician Sophie Allison, will release her staggering new album Evergreen this Friday, October 25. Today she shares one final teaser of the forthcoming record with ‘Abigail,’ a captivating and dreamy ode to Allison’s purple-haired wife in the game Stardew Valley. ‘Abigail,’ which premiered today via Apple Music’s NMD, follows previous singles like the catchy, Soccer Mommy classic ‘Driver,’ and the breathtaking, acoustic-forward tracks ‘Lost‘ and ‘M.’ Listen to ‘Abigail,’ and watch Allison try to win over her one true love in the song’s visualizer, HERE.
Allison’s intention for Evergreen was “to feel like you’re laying outside, eyes closed, the sun is on you, and you can feel the warmth & flowers & trees,” an appreciation that even in your darkest place a sunny day can wash over you and lift your spirits. With that as inspiration this week Soccer Mommy is sharing an exclusive early first listen of Evergreen with fans who can navigate to a lush outdoor location. Head to your nearest park and open link here to access the early Evergreen listening experience.
Soccer Mommy will embark on a massive, four-month North American, UK and European tour in support of Evergreen at the top of the year. Tickets are on-sale now – see below to find a show near you, and get your tickets HERE.
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 25th via Loma Vista Recordings.
