Color Theory by Soccer Mommy
Color Theory is an album by Soccer Mommy, released in 2020. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 16 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “circle the drain”, on 12 lists with a best position of #4.
Color Theory, the second album from Soccer Mommy, the Nashville songwriter Sophie Allison, arrived on Loma Vista on February 28, 2020. It's the sound some critics have tagged "bubblegrunge": the hazy guitar crunch of '90s alternative rock folded into the sugar-rush melodies of 2000s pop, with Allison's famously confessional songwriting right in the middle of it. "circle the drain" and "lucy", styled in lowercase like the album itself, are the tracks rock radio's countdowns latched onto.
Even the packaging got noticed: at the 64th Grammy Awards it was nominated for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, losing out to the 50th anniversary edition of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass.
