Whenever Allegra Weingarten was asked by friends and family to send music she always responded by telling them to wait for Momma’s new music. She knew the music she was creating with her best friend and bandmate, Etta Friedman, was some of their best work yet. They put in over a year of crafting and carefully creating the songs that will appear on “Household name” which is set to be released on July 1. Etta, who can be her own worst critic at times, admits that she is finally excited about showing her own personal music.
There is a big shift for this record. The pair went from writing music out of Yerington, Nevada, where Friedman has family, to the bright lights of New York City. Last record was a record that had small town vibes, but also had a message of having the freedom to travel wherever and whenever. This opened the doors to the idea of being overnight sensations. Although the two Momma members are modest when they talk about their growth, calling it slow and steady over the past several years, there’s no doubt that the two have made a tremendous leap. They recently played in the UK with Wet Leg, which was their first time playing over seasons. Their listeners have made a huge jump since the release of “Medicine” in November. Their music was even noticed by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy and Louise Post of Veruca Salt. Momma still has several goals to check off on a list they made several years ago, but they are on the right track—there’s a reason they have a song called rockstar. Allegra can finally show the songs that she has been talking about for so long. On July 1 their hard work will finally pay off. Check out the band below!
