Brooklyn-based band Momma have announced a new album, Welcome to My Blue Sky, and released a new single from it, “I Want You (Fever),” via a music video. They have also announced some tour dates. Welcome to My Blue Sky is due out April 4 via Polyvinyl/Lucky Number. Below, check out the single, album details, and tour dates.

Momma is Etta Friedman (songwriter/vocalist/guitarist), Allegra Weingarten (songwriter/vocalist/guitarist), Aron Kobayashi Ritch (producer/bassist), and Preston Fulks (drummer). Ritch produced the album, which was recorded live with the full band at Studio G in Brooklyn.

“With this album we were less concerned with sounding cool and heavy and rock & roll and much more focused on good, clean songwriting that hopefully inspires people to sing along and mean every word,” says Weingarten in a press release.

The band collectively had this to say about the new single: “‘I Want You (Fever)’ is a song we wrote about wanting to be with someone who has a girlfriend, or someone who isn’t over their ex. It’s pining after someone, but there’s also some confidence knowing that that person wants to be with you. The second we wrote that song we felt like we were entering a new era—we scrapped everything we had written for the album up to that point because it felt so fresh and so exciting.”

The album includes “Ohio All the Time,” a new song the band shared in October that was one of our Songs of the Week.

In 2023 Momma released the single “Bang Bang.” It was also one of our Songs of the Week, but it’s not featured on the new album.

Momma’s last album, Household Name, came out in 2022 via Polyvinyl.
