Review: Soccer Mommy – “Evergreen” – Indie-Rock existenziell — Rolling Stone

It’s nothing more than that. When Sophia Allison got her hands on her wife’s name, an image of her gained momentum, but something might have gone wrong. Niemals knew what he wanted, while being aware of his acoustic guitar. And as the soul of the souls sanft zum Refrain überleitet, I am consciously aware, that is what matters for ever being lost: “If I still had a chance, I would ask her,” says Allison in the bittersweet Trauerballade “Lost”, which dies regarding Album available.

When the inner core of life emerges in pop music, it does not sing about a romantic Liebe, but verarbeitet nicht under a herzergreifen Break-up-Song das Ende eener toxic Beziehung. One of the best indie rock albums shows existential dramas, and documentaries of trauerarbeit. Dazu plays with „Electro-Shock Blues“ van den Eels, Arcade Fires „Funeral“, Sufjan Stevens’ „Carrie & Lowell“ or Nick Caves „Ghosteen“. And you can use the Soccer Mommy’s “Evergreen” dazu.

In the context of the disinterested language, your best work is as a songwriter

“Look where it leaves me/ Sing to myself,” complains Allison aka Soccer Mommy in the song “Changes”, which she then sings the sessions electronically and wrote “Sometimes, Forever” (2022). The one with Streichern and Flöte verzierte Akustikballade with “Evergreen” Ton and Thema vor. Allison War will last a while, if Mutter Krebs is diagnosed. Jetzt is at the age of 27, while I have “Thinking Of You” in my hair, Kleideraufhängen or Fahren by Nashvilles Straßen van Erinnerungen secretly spoken, spürt im von Americana-Harmonien beseelten “M” een gepenstische Präsenz, and in the Auseinandersetzung with dem Unvermeidlichen hier bisher beste Work als Songwriterin.

Falls Boygenius guessed from those such after one celebrated Mitglied sind: these eleven songs represent the perfect writings. “Evergreen” has a style with the spröde, with the grunge-flirting “Driver”, the psychedelic traumtänzer “Anchor” or the indie-pop-little “Abigail” with an intimately intensive and filigree arranged trauerballades best of the album – that is full of joy with the title song ends: “She cannot fade/ She is evergreen!”
