Brooklyn’s Momma return with new song ‘Bang Bang’.

The band hinges on the friendship between Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten, two close collaborators now firmly based on the East Coast. 2022’s ‘Household Name’ was a dose of ragged indie rock thrills, with Momma then hitting the road for some feverish live shows.

New song ‘Bang Bang’ finds the band grappling with a fresh era, adding unexpected elements to their sound. It’s got a late 90s feel, reminiscent of Garbage at their most biting, or even those prime Cardigans singles.

Out now, the song emerged from COVID isolation, a self-proclaimed “hot sounding song about great sex” that ushers in a “whole new sound” for Momma.

“Allegra and I ended up getting COVID at the same time, so we decided to isolate, get drunk, and write together,” Etta Friedman explains. 

“Within a night we had demoed a hot sounding song about great sex,” Allegra Weingarten adds: “We wanted to write something lyrically different than anything else we’d done – just super literal and crude. We shared it with Aron and he sent us back a new version with a lot of added extra production: drums, bass, synths, acoustic guitar etc. It felt totally different and fresh. The finished song has a lot of classic Momma – heavy guitars and catchy melodies – but packaged in a different form. It feels immediate, like a whole new sound for the band.”

Tune in now.
