In between tours supporting Death Cab For Cutie and Alex G, alt-rock breakouts Momma return with their fiery new single, “Bang Bang”. Songwriters Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten collaborated with producer/bassist Aron Kobayashi Ritch to write and record the track after getting home last fall from their first-ever North American headline tour. “Bang Bang” expands upon the band's signature dynamics in bold new ways, and is yet another Momma song destined for repeat listens.

“Allegra and I ended up getting COVID at the same time, so we decided to isolate, get drunk, and write together,” Friedman explains. “Within a night we had demoed a hot sounding song about great sex.” Weingarten adds: “We wanted to write something lyrically different than anything else we’d done – just super literal and crude. We shared it with Aron and he sent us back a new version with a lot of added extra production: drums, bass, synths, acoustic guitar, etc. It felt totally different and fresh. The finished song has a lot of classic Momma - heavy guitars and catchy melodies - but packaged in a different form. It feels immediate, like a whole new sound for the band.”

The new single follows their latest album, Household Name. Produced by Kobayashi Ritch and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Emily Lazar (The Killers, Maggie Rogers), the album has seen Momma emerge as one of the most exciting new bands in rock, earning critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR Music, MTV News, Rolling Stone, NYLON, Stereogum, and many others.  

Earlier this week, Momma announced they’ll be supporting the initial leg of Weezer’s Indie Rock Roadtrip summer U.S. tour with Modest Mouse; tickets go on-sale March 2 at 10AM local time. In a few short weeks, the band head to Europe to support an almost completely sold out Alex G tour before making festival debuts at Coachella, Kilby Court and Capitol Hill Block Party. Additionally, the band will play a Goldenvoice Presents show headlining LA’s The Roxy on April 13 - check out all of Momma's upcoming dates below:
