Momma - Welcome To My Blue Sky (April 4, 2025) • Page 6

I’m not saying it is the same, but I like it for the same reasons?

 

The after ep from earlier this year hits a lot of the same buttons for me

 

new hotline tnt kind of? not an exact fit but similar things going on.

 

I was thinking that. Other than being male vocals it hits that 90s alt rock w a gazy guitar layer request pretty spot on

 

It’s hard to find something that fits squarely within the Momma/Bully/Blondeshell thing right now, especially if you’re looking for women vocalists only. If you’re cool with losing the rock/solid walls of guitars element, then I’d also recommend checking out the After EP that Zac mentioned. There is a fair amount of stuff like that around if you wind up liking it (including the first Wishy EP, which you may like more than their full length)

If you can lose the light/upbeat elements to settle on female fronted throwback rock music with shoegaze elements, I would recommend the Palomino Blond and Present records from last year

Also will throw out Jay Som’s last LP, Anak Ko. It may venture into some territory that you’re not looking for exactly, but there are for sure some 90s pop/rock leanings in there, as well as a dash of Pinback flavor, who I feel is a clear influence on Momma that helps them stand out

 

If we're going to go full jangle-pop, I'll say Alvvays and The Sundays

 

Man do I love Pinback.

 

Thank you so much for your service! I love an in-depth discourse when it comes to recommendations, I'll dive as soon as I can.

First Alvvays record is a masterpiece. Never got into the Sundays as much as the only Sun Days album that came out 10 years ago.

 

Have you listened to Blue Rev? It's Alvvays' best imho

 

Blue Rev kind of the template for dreamy/gazy guitars on pure pop rock songwriting, too. Most 2020s album of the 2020s so far (in a good way).

 

I forgot there was a band called The Sun Days, cool record but egregious name especially for a band playing that style

 

I finally found this record due to the mid-year lists, two thoughts - awesome, awesome summer record…and I Want You (Fever) is one of my favorite songs of the year
