The Line of Best Fit
Soccer Mommy covers Bruce Springsteen's beloved 1985 track "I'm On Fire" in our latest session.
The cover features on the B-side of a new 7-inch single, led by a reworked version of “Henry,” a song that originally appeared on Soccer Mommy’s 2016 collection For Young Hearts on Orchid Tapes.
“I wanted to make a version of ‘I’m On Fire’ that connected with the sadness of the song,” explains Sophia Allison. “I think that doing a more stripped down version allowed me to make something that feels emotionally raw.”
Pre-order the 7-inch, out 5 October via Fat Possum.
Soccer Mommy plays at this year's End of the Road Festival which runs from 30 August - 2 September and tours the UK throughout September. Find out more at endoftheroadfestival.com.
