Soccer Mommy – For Young Hearts [Limited 140g Green Smoke Color Vinyl]

Description

I keep on thinking about what used to be/ Rainbow high school memories/ Back when both of us were only seventeen, Sophie Allison sings on Inside Out, a highlight from the recently-releasedFor Young Hearts, her fourth release under the name Soccer Mommy. The project got its start withsongs for the recently sad, which was followed up bysongs from my bedroom pt. 1andpt. 2.For Young Heartsis Soccer Mommys most assured collection of songs yet and, as the title suggests, all of them are centered around the chaotic messiness of young love, both while in the throes of it and looking back at it in bitter remembrance.

Skinned Knees is the gentle sound of falling in love and never quite getting over it: I left burning streets in Tennessee for a Northeast feel/ But summer always hurts, think of you first and your skin peel. Stark closer Switzerland yearns for an isolation and clear-headedness that never comes: We could go some place alone/ Dont you see?/ We could go somewhere it snows/ Just you and me. On Bloody Honey, Allison channels a jilted lounge singer, gliding over melodies through lines like You had your chance to love me back, and you took your time and Dont you find it kind of funny? That I put my heart out on the line, and now its yours against the knife.
