(Credit: Natalia Mantini) "Clean is Allison's excellent studio debut: a compact album of clear melodies, plainspoken lyrics, and the impossibly tangled logic of infatuation." - Pitchfork (Best New Music, 8.4) "Clean greatly expands the scope of Ms. Allison's songs in both words and music... Both cleareyed and passionate, she is growing up in public, unabashed." - New York Times "She combines mischief and bluntness in the manner of Liz Phair, and her voice has a quality like melting ice cream—sweet and appealingly messy, slipping around the pitch of a note." - The New Yorker "Sophie Allison firmly establishes herself as a vital musical voice we'll be turning to in the years to come." -NPR Music “A star of indie rock's poetically plainspoken new wave (see Lucy Dacus, Jay Som, Mitski, Big Thief, etc.), Sophie Allison weaves images of bedsheets, flora, fauna and lip-locks through 10 songs, sparkling guitar melodies carrying rubbed raw emotions” - Rolling Stone (Best Albums of 2018 So Far) “But on her precocious indie rock debut Clean, Allison proves mature beyond her years, finding raw poetry in youthful heartbreak and frustration...intensely relatable.” - TIME (Best Albums of 2018 So Far) “a low-key guitar-rocker with bite” - Billboard (Best Albums of 2018 So Far) “This beautiful and brash debut LP from Sophie Allison captures the anguish/ecstasy of your formative years through clean, catchy guitar riffs and lyrics both biting...and heartfelt” - Entertainment Weekly (Best Albums of 2018 So Far) “a beacon of indie rock’s future: She’s a young woman with a head for catchy guitar riffs and a heart full of poignant lyrics. Her debut full-length, Clean, impresses because it is so earnest and smart at the same time.” - Stereogum (#5 Best Albums of 2018 So Far) "Soccer Mommy's Clean is one of the best rock records of the 2018 so far" - The FADER (Gen F) Soccer Mommy - twenty-one year old Nashville native Sophie Allison – released her debut album Clean earlier this year to critical acclaim, and today she announces a new 7-inch single. The single’s A-Side is a newly reworked version of “Henry,” a song that originally appeared on Soccer Mommy’s 2016 collection For Young Hearts on Orchid Tapes. The B-Side is a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire,” a live show highlight that now has a long-awaited studio recording. “I wanted to make a version of ‘I’m On Fire’ that connected with the sadness of the song,” explains Allison. “I think that doing a more stripped down version allowed me to make something that feels emotionally raw.” Stream the cover HEREand pre-order the 7-inch, out October 5th via Fat Possum, HERE.
