LP – Limited Edition Highlighter Yellow Vinyl (2025 Repress). For Sophie Allison, aka Soccer Mommy, color theory is a distillation of hard-won catharsis.The album confronts the ongoing mental health and familial trials that have plagued the 22-year-old artist since pre-pubescence, presenting listeners with an uncompromisingly honest self-portrait, and reminding us exactly why her critically-acclaimed debut, 2018’s Clean, made her a hero to many.Wise beyond her years, Allison is a songwriter capable of capturing the fleeting moments of bliss that make an embattled existence temporarily beautiful.With color theory, Allison’s fraught past becomes a lens through which we might begin to understand what it means to be resilient.color theory is awash with a lush landscape of guitar strums and rustled distortion and alison’s down to earth vocals.It’s part 90’s pop, contemporary songwriters like Sasami and Weyes Blood and alison’s pop-punk past.
