Album Of The Week: Momma Welcome To My Blue Sky
They say your frontal lobe doesn’t fully develop until you’re 25. In crossing that milestone you might find yourself subjected to a slew of preconceived notions and expectations: Are you well-established in your career yet? Is your current partner “the one”? You can no longer chalk up your moral missteps to naivete; you risk fucking up your life. And, if you’re Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten, you might develop an affinity for the sleepy corners of the Midwest, belying your coastal roots. “I never got Ohio, babe, but now I do,” the core duo of Momma proclaim on “Ohio All The Time,” an early single to their fourth album Welcome To My Blue Sky. It’s a heartwarming admission on a record brimming with tiny moments of self-discovery.
