Momma announce new LP & tour (watch video for new single "Speeding 72")

Brooklyn band Momma signed to Polyvinyl and released their first single for the label, “Medicine,” in November. Now they’ve announced a new album, Household Name, due out July 1. It was produced by Kobayashi Ritch and mastered by Emily Lazar, and you can see the cover art and tracklist below. “I went through a lot of changes as we were writing and demoing this record,” Allegra Weingarten says. “The biggest was that I was going through a really messy breakup, which was motivation to make this record the best it could be. I really felt like I had something to prove. I wanted to write about heartbreak, which isn’t something we normally focus on in our lyrics. Etta and I ended up writing several songs on our own because we were having two really different experiences during this time. It’s the first record where we each have three songs that we sing solo on.”

“After making Two of Me, I think this album couldn’t help but to get personal,” Etta Friedman adds. “This was the first time all four of us worked together throughout the entire process of demoing, recording, etc. We’ve never had the luxury to work this intimately together for such a prolonged amount of time.”

Momma have shared a new single from the album, “Speeding 72” which drops in a reference to Pavement’s “Gold Soundz” in the chorus. You can watch the accompanying video, directed by Madeline Leshner and Zach Stone, below. “‘Speeding 72’ is probably the most collaboratively written song on the new record,” the band says. “We wanted it to be the sort of summertime anthem that you can turn on during a drive to impress your crush. The most important part of the production was setting the right mood to transport the listener. The song starts with Aron getting into his car (which is featured on the album cover), and then turning on the ignition.”

Momma have also announced a headlining US tour this fall, which follows dates supporting Snail Mail. waveform*, Pardoner, and teethe each open select shows, and you can see all dates below.

The tour ends with a Brooklyn show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 8 with waveform*. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 22 at 10 AM local time.
