Soccer Mommy's album’s sonic landscape is vast and dexterous, with melodies that shimmer on the surface, but reveal an unsettling darkness with each listen.
RKS's excellent 2013 debut LP is a combination of their first EP, “Mary," which was recorded in a dorm room at Appalachian State University, where the core of the band started, and "Seven", their first album.
Clean is Soccer Mommy's second release at Fat Possum Records, and is considered by singer Sophie Allison to be her true first album, as 2017's Collection was a compilation of older songs previously released on Bandcamp.
Claud's engrossing and poignant second album is a confident diary of the mercury of life and love in one's early 20s, whether it's the self-doubt that creeps through it's tunes or the place of compromise they try to find.
"If Giver Taker was an album of prayers, The King is an album of curses." Anjimile won the world over with the clear-eyed honesty of their first record - a meditation on spirituality and liberation.
While most bands reserve a self-titled album for their debut, the Dirty Heads, held off for an album deserving of the moniker. The band found one in their fifth studio release, a total culmination of their signature sound.
