TORONTO (CelebrityAccess) – 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 she has now shared 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 willing to deal with those flaws to love you despite them.
“Driver is a love song that’s really about someone being there for you in spite of your shortcomings. It’s more light-hearted than some of the other songs I’ve put out this year, using my distractedness as a bit of a punchline,” explains Allison.
Soccer Mommy also announces a massive, four-month North American, UK and European tour supporting Evergreen. In addition to her forthcoming performance at NYC and DC’s All Things Go later this month, Soccer Mommy will bring the new album on the road from January through the end of May with stops in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Tickets go on sale locally on Friday at 10:00 a.m. – see below to find a show near you.
Allison began her career as a teenager, sharing music on Bandcamp in near-demo form. In recent years, she has been enjoying synthesizers and experimental production, thanks to the new studio resources 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.
