One of this month’s “On The Up” artists to watch, Brooklyn duo Momma have a penchant for crafting nostalgic indie rock tunes that harken back to acts like The Smashing Pumpkins and The Breeders. Led by Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten, Momma are set to tour with Snail Mail this summer following the July 1st release of their new album, Household Name. Each single from the impending release has seemingly topped the last and the newly released “Lucky” is a total ripper of a track.
Fuzzed out guitars and Friedman’s choice lyrics about yearning for her partner have a gravitational pull. “How’d I get so lucky?” she asks on the track. “I wrote it after my significant other and I had to spend an unknown amount of time apart from each other on opposite sides of the country,” Friedman said in a statement. “I wanted it to feel anthemic, like a sappy and sentimental love song, but I still wanted to speak on how exciting it feels to know you found true treasure with someone you are in love with.”
