Momma have shared new single ‘Rodeo’ ahead of their album ‘Welcome to My Blue Sky’, set for release via Lucky Number and Polyvinyl this Friday, 4th April.
The track arrives with a video directed by Richard Phillip Smith, featuring the band on an ice rink. “This song is written from the perspective of two people we kind of left behind, romantically. It’s our attempt at honoring their stories by tapping into the feeling of being replaced by someone else.
“We made the video with Richard Smith, who had the idea to put us on an ice rink and have someone skating around us, with a bull chasing her. It’s supposed to replicate the idea of being in the center of the ring of a rodeo, and feeling like someone is doing laps around you and you just can’t keep up,” songwriters Allegra Weingarten and Etta Friedman explain.
The band recently made their late night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing their track ‘I Want You (Fever)’. The new album, produced by bandmate Aron Kobayashi Ritch, was recorded live at Studio G in Brooklyn.
Momma are set to embark on a headline tour, with dates across North America and Europe.
