Soccer Mommy is gearing up to release her new album Sometimes, Forever, which means she’ll soon be “Touring, Forever.” The singer-songwriter has just announced a new run of North American shows for the fall, as well as another single from the album called “Bones.”
“Bones” takes it back to Soccer Mommy’s crunchy indie rock roots, from its twisted tale of romance (“You make me feel like I am whole again/ But I think your heart could use a tourniquet”) to its simple, back-and-forth guitar riff. Allison explained the meaning of the song in a statement, noting, “’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.” The single comes with a performance video directed by Alex Ross Perry, who Soccer Mommy previously teamed up with for the cinematic visual to color theory highlight “yellow is the color of her eyes.”
The “Touring, Forever” trek begins on October 28th in Indianapolis and continues through December, where Sophie Allison and her band will wrap up in Dallas on December 17th. At different stops, the 26-date tour features support from Lightning Bug, Helena Deland, and TOPS. Fans who sign up for a pre-sale code on Soccer Mommy’s website will be able to purchase tickets beginning Thursday, May 19th at 10:00 a.m. local time, while the tour’s general sale begins Friday, May 20th at 10:00 a.m. local time. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from tickets sold during the band’s website pre-sale will be donated to Planned Parenthood.
Check out the full “Touring, Forever” itinerary and the “Bones” music video below. Soccer Mommy previously previewed Sometimes, Forever with the singles “Shotgun” and “Unholy Affliction,” the former of which she later performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Allison recently appeared on the Kyle Meredith With… podcast, where she discussed her love for horror and 1980s and ’90s alternative.
