“Medicine,” the driving new single from NY based rock group Momma, is an exciting glimpse into what’s in store for 2022. “Medicine” is the band’s strongest work to date, clearly showcasing their knack for developing hooky guitar lines paired with an intricate, yet boisterous rhythm section. The band’s use of fuzzed-out distortion intertwined with clean and bright picking patterns is a tasteful nod to their love of 90's alternative and could easily pair well with bands like Sonic Youth, Pavement, Liz Phair, and Jimmy Eat World circa Clarity.
“We wanted to write about that feeling of just being addicted to someone, and how someone else’s company can really feel like a drug,” explains the band. “‘Medicine’ is really the first Momma song that was written as a complete 4-piece.”
Momma (now a 4-piece consisting of Etta Friedman, Allegra Weingarten, Aron Kobayashi Ritch and Zach CapittiFenton) have honed in on their symbiotic writing style and creative intuition to craft a sound that feels oddly familiar, yet all their own.
