Loma Vista
SOCCER MOMMY - Sometimes, Forever LP
"Forever Edition" black vinyl.
A haunting and dreamy take on late 2010s/early 20s indie rock, filtered through 90s sonic palettes and Daniel Lopatin’s (aka Oneohtrix Point Never, Chuck Person, Ford And Lopatin, Games, etc.) smoky mix of analog and digital textures. Lopatin stands back quite a bit though, and makes absolutely sure to let Sophie Allison’s spookily contemplative songwriting take center stage.
Her fragile voice pierces through each track, accompanied by shoegaze guitars (“Don’t Ask Me”), claustrophobic soundscapes (“newdemo”), and bittersweet melodies (“Feel It All the Time”).
