Brooklyn-based band Momma have shared a video for their new single “Motorbike.” It is the latest release from their forthcoming album Household Name, which will be out this Friday (July 1) via Polyvinyl. View the Emma Penrose and Zack Shorrosh-directed video below.

Band member Allegra Weingarten elaborates on the new single in a press release: “I wrote this song about a boy I had a crush on who really wanted nothing to do with me. The song is basically just fantasy—even though it’s about a real person, it’s also about how we can make up elaborate ideas of who other people are in our heads, and get so caught up in these fake scenarios that they kind of end up feeling real. I wanted the song to feel like you’re escaping something, because my daydreams about this boy and his motorcycle were definitely an escape from my life at the time.”

Household Name includes “Medicine,” a new song the band shared in November, and “Rockstar,” a new song they shared in February that was one of our Songs of the Week. Upon announcement of the album in April, they shared the song “Speeding 72.” Their previous album single was “Lucky.”
