Soccer Mommy’s latest album Color Theory was named Album of the Week by Stereogum, and given high praise. Gabe Wax not only produced the album, but provided various backing vocals and instruments, in addition to engineering the critically acclaimed record.

Stereogum says:

color theory is a closed loop that answers every depressing question with an equally depressing answer. No matter what hallway Allison travels down, she’s met with the same struggle. It’s a heavy album, one that evokes the helplessness that comes with depression, but there is light peeking out even from its darkest corners. “I want someone who is following a dream/ Someone like me,” she yearns on “night swimming,” her monochromatic shades offering a potential escape. These songs seem like a part of that escape, a way to excavate personal demons and provide a way to keep going in spite of it all.
