True colors: “I wanted the experience of listening to color theory to feel like finding a dusty old cassette tape that has become messed up over time, because that’s what this album is: an expression of all the things that have slowly degraded me personally,” says Sophie Allison, aka Soccer Mommy. color theory is Allison’s sophomore album—a mid-tempo record driven by indie-rock and dream-pop beats under lulling melodies that are a front for dark, painful lyrics. For Allison, the album is a daring, unbridled self-portrait that examines mental health and familial struggles that have impacted her from childhood.
