Soccer Mommy is Sophie Allison, the Nashville songwriter who turned lo-fi Bandcamp uploads into one of the sharpest voices in modern indie rock, all confessional lyrics and '90s-soaked guitars across Clean, Color Theory, and the synthier Sometimes, Forever. Evergreen, her fourth record, strips that sound back to acoustic guitars and strings, written in the wake of personal loss and recast on a quietly cinematic scale.
She played our stage at Levitation 2024 on Friday, November 1, so pressing this one as a Levitation Edition felt like the natural next move. This is our color: an Evergreen Splatter LP, limited to 300.
Evergreen is the sound of Sophie Allison trusting the quiet. The arrangements breathe, the strings do real emotional work, and grief sits right in the room with you instead of getting buried under production. Songs like Abigail prove she can still write a hook that sticks, even when the whole record leans soft and unhurried.
The press mostly agreed: Pitchfork read it as a graceful return to her roots, and Rolling Stone called it her most unguarded record yet. Fair on both counts. If we have one small note, the album plays it safe at the edges, and a couple of tracks blur together on first listen before they open up.
But that is exactly why it rewards a vinyl pressing. This is a record built for a needle drop and a full sit, and the Evergreen Splatter does it justice.
