Following Momma’s beloved 2020 LP Two of Me, which introduced the world to the symbiotic writing style & profound creative intuition of founders Etta Friedman & Allegra Weingarten, the band’s third studio album Household Name reveals an exciting new chapter marked by both personal & artistic growth. Mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Emily Lazar, the album is a tightly-stitched collection that is magnetic & dynamic, & also marks their debut for Polyvinyl Record Co./Lucky Number.
Bygone heroes helped inspire a lyrical theme throughout Household Name: the rise and fall of the rock star, & the tropes & tribulations that come with that arc. The theme allowed the group to celebrate icons like Nirvana, Pavement, Smashing Pumpkins, Veruca Salt, and the Breeders’ Kim Deal, while weaving in their own perspective and experiences. Standouts like “Medicine,” which The Line of Best Fit described as an “addictive alt-rock tonic,” and “Speeding 72” showcase the band’s knack for developing hooky guitar lines paired with an intricate, yet boisterous rhythm section. The album perfects a balance of heavy riffs, deep emotions, inviting sonic production, and a lighthearted, wry sense of humor, creating a singular lane for Momma in today's world of alt-rock.
In addition to a full US tour supporting Death Cab for Cutie, tour legs with Weezer plus Alex G Momma have been featured in outlets such as DIY, NPR, Stereogum, and Rolling Stone, who featured them as 2020’s “Artist You Need To Know.”
