Collection

"For the past two years, Sophie Allison has been self-releasing soft-hued bedroom pop through an assortment of EPs and singles under the name Soccer Mommy. For Collection, Allison re-recorded some of her most precious material from those years with a full band, filling out her sound with brighter and bigger arrangements while maintaining her intimacy and homespun refinement ... At 20 years old, Allison is only just getting started, and Collection is a tidy introduction to Soccer Mommy that points towards her vision of bringing her contemplative songwriting to a more potent and energizing level".

"Collection is the Fat Possum debut of Soccer Mommy, the solo project of singer/songwriter/guitarist Sophie Allison. So titled because it gathers select songs from prior Bandcamp releases as well as a couple of previously unreleased tunes, all of the tracks included were newly recorded for the album. While Allison's introspective, guitar-centric songcraft carries a certain intimate, lo-fi quality, much of the material here falls on the more expansive end of expectations for the style ... A brief teaser with only eight tracks that last less than half an hour, it's enough to make the promise of the young Nashville native evident".
