We are delighted to announce the signing of rising NYC-based band Momma and, to celebrate, today release their dynamic, energising new single “Medicine” alongside a Hailey Heaton-directed video shot on VHS-C.
Produced and mixed by bassist Aron Kobayashi Ritch, it also marks Momma’s first song demoed and written in New York as a 4-piece of singers/guitarists Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten, bassist Aron Kobayashi Ritch, and drummer Zach CapittiFenton. The band explained: “The two guitar riffs were written by Etta and Allegra about a year before we actually brought it to the full band. When we wrote the first verse, we realised it was one of the first times we couldn’t write about heartbreak – we were both in very loving relationships. 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.”
The band put out a breakthrough full-length, Two Of Me, in 2020 which saw Momma pick up significant support in their home country with the group featured by Rolling Stone (Artist You Need to Know), Pigeons & Planes (Best New Artists), NPR and LA Weekly. Momma also earned further praise and support from The FADER, Stereogum, Pitchfork, Paste, NYLON, and more.
The band will support their new labelmates Sunflower Bean on a series of US dates early next year with further plans for their first ever UK dates to be announced in due course.
