Nashville’s Sophie Allison has been releasing music as Soccer Mommy for almost a decade. Historically her albums are story-based outputs and we, the listener, are invited to have a sit and listen. Her latest album Evergreen however is simply a collection of great songs with some really great little surprises.

“Abigail” is about the purple-haired, flute-playing, amethyst loving character in the beloved cult indie game Stardew Valley. An ode to one of the game’s most popular characters, the song’s 90’s bedroom pop shimmer hearkens back to Soccer Mommy’s classic 90’s alternative sound that would certainly have anyone, especially our titular character, accepting her mermaid pendant.

And last week, Soccer Mommy announced Evergreen (Stripped), a six-song EP of acoustic versions of some of the tracks from the 2024 album, including Abigail, out June 6th.

Soccer Mommy stopped by Studio 1A for the third time earlier this month ahead of her show at Radio East to perform songs from Evergreen. See the entire session below
