Welcome To My Blue Sky [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Like so many coming-of-age stories that leave a long-lasting impact, Momma's new album Welcome to My Blue Sky takes place during a charmed and turbulent summer-a transformative moment in time that co-founders Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten sum up as a period of "parallel chaos." Over the course of 12 immaculately composed yet immediately potent songs, the Brooklyn-based band's fourth LP documents all the life-altering upheaval the two singer/songwriter/guitarists experienced during a whirlwind mid-2022 tour, infusing each track with both unsparing self-awareness and immense sensitivity. Equal parts shared memoir, communal outpouring, and infinitely riveting emotional travelogue, the result is a bold leap forward for one of the most creatively uncompromising and truly singular voices in indie-rock.Produced by their bandmate Aron Kobayashi Ritch (a multi-instrumentalist/engineer), Welcome to My Blue Sky marks the follow-up to Household Name-a 2022 release that earned acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR Music, and Rolling Stone (including landing on Rob Sheffield's "Top 20 Albums of 2022" list). With the help of drummer Preston Fulks, Momma arrived at an album matching the raw urgency of rock with the exquisitely sticky melodies and taut arrangements of pop-a dynamic born from their deepened commitment to finding the most direct vessel for their emotional expression.Momma has generated over 50M catalog streams to date and has performed with seminal bands like Weezer, Death Cab For Cutie, Pavement, Alex G, and Wet Leg, as well as major festival appearances such as Coachella 2023.
