Momma - Welcome To My Blue Sky (April 4, 2025) • Page 5

Yeah I don’t know what to make of any of this. I’m not gonna be the person to question them if they feel like they were being creeped on, but the age commentary is very weird to me. It’s not a playground, it’s a concert lol

 

I think there is pretty obviously an intangible here. He creeped them out, something was off. I feel like 99.9% of the people who would want to stand quietly while they watched the show would also not want to be in the very front row.

 

I’m not disagreeing but just offering a different perspective: sometimes I end up at a show that my friend invited me to where they want to be barricade or close to the front and I don’t know any of the lyrics or really know the artist that well, so I just end up standing there watching without much emotion. Something could have creeped them out though and it’s fair to call that out and I don’t want to invalidate that.

 

40+ guy at the show tonight. Will be sure not to stand with zero expression.

 

seems like something that probably doesn’t require this much discussion

 

There’s been like 10 posts about it lol we’re not exactly breaking out the pitchforks here

 

just not sure what else needs to be said about a dumb throwaway instagram story they posted after having an off-night. doesn’t feel like something worth being upset about.

 

Not sure if anyone is that upset, I just thought it was kind of dumb lol this is now prolonging the conversation that, I agree with you, isn't that deep

 

to be clear i thought they were great and had a lot of fun lol

 

wow how dare you

 

some weird posts

 

Show rocked last night, no issues.

 

They expanded on their Instagram story from the other day:

 

As the weather gets increasingly hotter, I'm falling deeper for this record. Are there any other albums / bands that have a similar mix of shoegaze and '00s pop rock?

 

have you listened to Wishy's Triple Seven album?

 

Yeah, Wishy is a good one, Slow Pulp too.

Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy sometimes fit the bill.

 

Yeah, but it didn't hit on first listen like Momma did. Guess I'm looking for something hazier / dreamier and poppier with only female vocals and walls of guitars.

Slow Pulp's last effort is one of my most listened records of the past few years. Bully's Lucky for You stratch that itch too. Soccer Mommy's Color Theory is another good one but I don't go back to it that much.

 

I don’t hear any shoegaze in Momma tbh but the newest Wishy EP is a little more experimental than the LP

when in doubt I feel like any given artist’s last fm page will have good recommendations for similar artists

 

The last few Torres albums (What An Enormous Room, Thirstier, Silver Tongue), Blondshell, especially her debut album and Horsegirl.

 

Bully’s newest album is a good rec and I’m gonna throw out the band Star 99 as well

 

Those reccos are all good but you should listen to Hum's output from the 1990s

 

And Hum’s output from 2020!

 

keep an eye out for the new bleary eyed record later this month, too.

 

Wouldn't really consider Hum to incorporate '00s pop-rock lol. Incredible music, one of my favorite bands, but not sure they fit that bill

 

That's true they are probably not quite as hooky. Still rule though.
