Momma

Like so many coming-of-age stories that leave a long-lasting impact, Momma’s new album Welcome to

My Blue Sky takes place during a charmed and turbulent summer—a transformative moment in time

that co-founders Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten sum up as a period of “parallel chaos.” The

Brooklyn-based band’s fourth LP, over the course of 12 immaculately composed yet immediately

potent songs, documents all the life-altering upheaval the two singer/songwriter/guitarists

experienced during a whirlwind mid-2022 tour. Equal parts shared memoir, communal outpouring,

and riveting emotional travelogue, each track is infused with both unsparing self-awareness and

immense sensitivity, and the result is a bold leap forward for one of the most creatively

uncompromising and singular voices in indie-rock.
