Soccer Mommy - Sometimes, Forever [Indie Exclusive, Pink Splatter]

Released in 2022, Sometimes, Forever is the third studio album from Nashville’s Sophie Allison, better known as Soccer Mommy. While her previous work established her as a master of 90s-influenced indie rock, this record sees her pushing into darker, more immersive territory. By enlisting Daniel Lopatin (the electronic visionary behind Oneohtrix Point Never and producer for The Weeknd), Allison successfully fuses her signature "unsparing lyricism" with industrial textures, shoegaze-adjacent guitars, and haunting synth soundscapes.

The album title reflects the cyclical nature of human emotion—the idea that feelings of joy and sorrow are both fleeting and permanent. From the heavy, driving pulse of "Shotgun" to the ghostly, industrial chill of "Unholy Affliction," the record is a masterclass in tension and release. It is an "immersive and compulsively replayable" journey that proves Sophie Allison is not just a songwriter, but a world-builder.
