Evergreen by Soccer Mommy
I liked Soccer Mommy's last two albums, but this is easily the best album she's made. It reminds me a lot of the album Blind by The Sundays. It's very low key but very consistent with these little melodic hooks that draw you into each song. Lyrically she's always been interesting, but again I think this is her best work.
If you haven't given Soccer Mommy a chance, give this album a listen. Like I said it's solid through the entire album. There wasn't any one song that really grabbed me to listen to over and over, but I never tired of listening to the album from start to finish. If you're looking for a good low key album to put on while you take a drive around the country looking at the snow with a friend or spouse, this would work.
I had never given Soccer Mommy a chance, and now I have. Thanks as always for the tips!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites among this batch were "Ray" by Kate Nash and "Wish You Knew" by Carlita, though I do appreciate that Dominic Fike's "14 Minutes" actually does go on for 14 minutes.
