More about:

The latest single taken from Sometimes, Forever, the forthcoming third album by Soccer Mommy is 'Bones'. She's also announced a run of in-stores across the UK's record shops. She'll be playing acoustic in Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol and Brighton on the week of the album's release.

'Bones', the album's opening track, is classic Soccer Mommy: perfectly blended guitars and drums swell to a dream-grunge crescendo under Sophie Allison's distinctive vox. The matching video shows her playing in a dank room with her band.

“Bones is a song about struggling with the parts of yourself that you don’t like in a relationship. It’s about wanting to become better for someone and feeling like you’re standing in your own way" Soccer Mommy said. 

Sometimes, Forever, which will be released on 24 June, is produced by Daniel Lopatin, also known as Oneohtrix Point Never. It’s the follow-up to 2020’s Color Theory, which in turn followed the Nashville singer’s 2018 debut Clean.
