Momma—the Brooklyn-based band led by singers/guitarists Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten— have released "Lucky," the latest shimmering single from their highly anticipated new album Household Name, due out on July 1. Etta, who helms lead vocals on the track, explains – “I wrote it after my significant other and I had to spend an unknown amount of time apart from each other on opposite sides of the country. I wanted it to feel anthemic, like a sappy and sentimental love song, but I still wanted to speak on how exciting it feels to know you found true treasure with someone you are in love with.” The sensitive burner is out now alongside a video directed by Emma Penrose & Zack Shorrosh, who shared – “We didn’t want to get too cheesy and literal, so Etta suggested some ideas from the Green Day ‘Walking Contradiction’ video as well as the fun and etherealness of certain Beabadoobee videos.”
Pre-order your Early Bird limited edition vinyl on Clear w/ Blue Smoke while you still can. "Lucky" follows the album’s fuzzed-out and soaring lead single "Speeding 72," co-written with Momma’s Aron Kobayashi Ritch, and two other album tracks "Rockstar" and "Medicine". Watch below –
After supporting Wet Leg on sold-out West Coast shows and making a big debut as part the U.K.'s The Great Escape Festival, Momma will next support Snail Mail's U.S. summer tour beginning August 12th. The band's own headlining U.S. tour begins September 12th and will see them playing their biggest venues to date, including shows at Los Angeles' The Echo on September 24th and Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 8th.
