Soccer Mommy - twenty-one old Nashville native Sophie Allison - released her debut albumClean earlier this year to critical acclaim, and today she shares the music video for fan-favorite "Scorpio Rising." "I wanted the video for 'Scorpio Rising' to be a bit celestial," explains Allison of the Jonny Look-directed video. "The whole idea of laying out in a park in the middle of the summer while looking at the stars holds a significance to me, so I wanted to capture that feeling. I think there's also a sense of isolation shown in the video that reflects both the song and the headspace I was in while writing Clean."
Soccer Mommy has also been announced as support for Kacey Musgraves on her February 2019 tour. Allison and her band have been touring non-stop this year, including sold-out headline shows and recently wrapped tours with the likes of Paramore, Liz Phair, Phoebe Bridgers, Speedy Ortiz, as well as her current run with Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks. Tickets go on-sale Friday, July 20 at 10am local - get your tickets HERE and see below to find a show near you.
Clean, out now on Fat Possum, has already received mid-year Best of 2018 nods from the likes of TIME, NPR, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, Stereogum, The AV Club, Hypebeast, Paste, The Ringer, Uproxx, Vinyl Me, Please and more.
