Last year saw Soccer Mommy burst onto the indie scene with her debut full-length, Clean. In her Track by Track breakdown of the album, she described the standout track “Blossom” as being “about finding someone who makes you feel wanted. It’s like the stars aligned for you, and it feels like you’re finally getting what you needed from love.” But it took a minute for Sophie Allison to get what she needed out of the track.
Allison, the singer-songwriter behind the Soccer Mommy moniker, originally recorded the demo for “Blossom” in the basement of her college dorm room. Given the circumstances, it’s not surprising that the strings and clean echoes of the studio version aren’t present on the early version. Instead, it’s a lo-fi collection of vibrations and layered vocals, a single piano chord plunking in the background.
Today, Soccer Mommy is sharing that basement demo b/w her track “Be Seeing You”, a track previously only available on 7-inch vinyl or Bandcamp. Take a listen to the early take on “Blossom” below.
You can also stream “Be Seeing You” via Spotify or Apple Music:
In a few days, Soccer Mommy will head out on the road for a tour that includes opening gigs for Kacey Musgraves and appearances at Governors Ball, Coachella, and Shaky Knees. Find her schedule below.
