Deciding to forego complex production and wanting the songs to sound like their early demos, she crafted an album about the desolation and sadness that comes with grieving the loss of someone in her close circle, and what it takes to escape that darkness \u2014 even if that means going through it.

So I wanted to catch a lot of that in the songwriting, and I wanted to be really straightforward, intimate and raw. No frills.

There\u2019s going to be a lot of complex feelings, but you can also still enjoy the memory of someone. It\u2019s really easy to be like, \u201cI don\u2019t want to be reminded of this.

It\u2019s just such a strong feeling of peacefulness, being at rest, being calm, and feeling a breeze.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265112\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/Soccer_Mommy_-_NYC_Live_Shot_-_Joseph_Buscarello_j7olyk\/soccer-mommy-evergreen-grief-stardew-valley-interview.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Soccer Mommy is touching grass\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><\/p>\n<p>      Soccer Mommy.

It\u2019s very woodsy down there. I spent a lot of time out doing stuff in nature. I like living in a place like Nashville or any other city that&#8217;s smaller and kind of in a more lush area that\u2019s not super skyscraper-type vibe. Once you\u2019re in that a lot more, you just go do stuff. I\u2019ll take my telescope out in front of my yard late at night and just be out looking at the planets and the moon and just standing out in the yard in, like, pajamas.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Tell me about the song \u201cAbigail.\u201d<br \/><\/b><br \/>She\u2019s my wife in Stardew Valley. It\u2019s my favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> ever. There\u2019s a lot of games I played growing up as a kid. I played a bunch of Pok\u00e9mon, and I really played a lot of Harvest Moon. When I found out about Stardew, my life changed. Abigail is one of the characters; I love her. The song came about because I was in this phase where I\u2019d written a lot of music for the album already. I guess, sonically, the chords didn\u2019t feel like this sad expression, and it just felt  something different. I had been playing Stardew and I was like, \u201cLet\u2019s just use this and make something for fun.\u201d There are some hints for the Stardew fans in the lyrics.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265111\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left embed\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Soccer Mommy - Abigail (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s4SWK4DH6ZU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265096\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <b>How do you feel about growing closer to your 30s?<br \/><\/b><br \/>I\u2019m definitely feeling it. I think this year when I turned 27, I was like, \u201cI\u2019m close to 30. I\u2019m not in my early 20s anymore.\u201d I\u2019ll meet fans and I\u2019m like, \u201cYou\u2019re so cute. I love your vibe. I\u2019m a grandma.\u201d I don\u2019t know how I got here, but I\u2019m a grandma. <\/p>\n<p>            I\u2019m Gen Z, technically. But honestly, I don\u2019t get a lot of Gen Z stuff. Not in a way that I don\u2019t like it, but I\u2019m not in tune with it. I don\u2019t even use TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>            I\u2019m in a happy place and I have a lot to be thankful for. Honestly, when I look back to being young, I\u2019m like, \u201cOh, this was so fun. This was so crazy.\u201d But I\u2019m also like, \u201cI was not okay. I was not happy.\u201d I feel a lot better now.
