[@MrDohers]

Pleased to see the first artist who did a Tiny Home Desk during the pandemic finally get to do a proper one now. That stripped back version of Shotgun was really chill, love it.

[@SingingwithHLC]

Circle the drain got me through the pandemic and gave voice to my depression. I’m so grateful for this artist!

[@tomlevitt4133]

unbelievably good tune, I never get bored of it

[@allyson--]

Yes!! Circle the Drain & Yellow Is the Color of Her Eyes were pivotal during the pandemic 🔁 Hope you are feeling somewhat better these days

[@n00bie96]

this song was so important to me all through out covid

[@matthewsmith7548]

Couldn’t say it any better

[@th3b0pper]

Running helped me get through the pandemic, and I listened to Circle the Drain and Yellow is the Color of Her Eyes every time.

[@bawling]

her ear for melody is out of this world. one of my favorite songwriters of this generation

[@illithiad]

0:00 shotgun 5:33 circle the drain 10:30 newdemo 15:20 still clean

[@dertythegrower]

If only PBS put in effort like that to put in chapters and timestamps like youtube has had for 2-3 years now

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

Thank you.

[@noahquiles5791]

Thank you! It’s incredible that NPR still doesn’t have the common sense to break videos up into chapters, an incredibly easy thing to do.

[@teresaa6150]

And Harry Potter wasn't too bad in fhe keyboard either

[@freddydorling9548]

Man her voice is so clear and in tune, in love with Circle the Drain, always have been always will

[@christianbelew2176]

Even the small things like the way she pronounces “want me” and “shotgun” are reasons why her vocals are so incredible. So unique! Love this band.

[@madixus38]

Ayo Mr. White you really are shredding on that bass

[@dertythegrower]

Now that was a good one eheh

[@imgitai]

😂

[@GreatGreenGaming]

jesse, we have to make sweet licks jesse

[@goojuice8470]

always glad to see fantano get some stage time on bass

[@joshuachandler989]

came here for this comment

[@woahdoctor8186]

Her melodies, cadence, and tone have a unique ability to capture a feeling of nostalgia that never actually existed. Like if you wiped my memory only of where I heard her music first, I would swear up and down with certainty I listened to it as a kid in my bedroom on some headphones plugged into a CD player and surrounded by my 90's stuff, with a bit of that childhood angst and that type of sadness mixed with hopefulness you feel as a kid before you really have a reason to

[@ugIyusername]

THIS

[@vaughanlusk9517]

Captured the exact feeling their music gives me

[@BarrettBoards]

So wild how true this is. Never listened but instantly felt like I had for years

[@goebelll]

Sounds like the Brazilian word, “saudade”

[@Agostoic]

Great to see Fantano finally playing bass again.

[@TweEkc]

Weird I thought it was Walter Heisenberg

[@expansivegymnast1020]

I seriously thought it was him for a few moments.

[@dad2054]

Two seconds after she started singing i knew she had a beautiful voice. Definitely looking for this group on spotify

[@iamthefirstpresident]

color theory was a very important album in my life when it released, im so happy to see soccer mommy get the npr rep they deserve!

[@syd2248]

Her “thanks y’all” at the end of every song🥹i loved every second of this. some persons just have a voice that makes you feel calm inside. they could be singing the most depressing lyrics, it doesn’t matter. the first song i heard from Soccer Mommy was Circle the Drain. i found it during the pandemic (are we still in a pandemic btw??) couldn’t stop playing it for weeks🫶🏽

[@chloecallahan9896]

Saw her in concert in October and she sounds even better live ❤

[@michaelmontone9353]

she was the opener for Vampire Weekend at red rocks and i did not want them to leave the stage. they're awesome

[@authoroftheaccident]

love how they're all wearing soccer mommy shirts

[@charlottesimss9853]

So cool to see her playing Still Clean on NPR again with the same guitar! It sounds so amazing with that synth added too

[@erikate1033]

love that they're all wearing soccer mommy merch :')

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

Never heard of them but was instantly mesmerized by her vocals. Wow

[@neildowson4044]

Same

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

bro thats soccer mommy bro

[@justaloser101]

You have to check out her debut album “clean”. I can listen to that album without skipping anything.

[@haydenwolf6922]

Circle the Drain is in my top 10 favorite songs of all time. Love this performance

[@Alex-xv5gz]

Sophie Allison is the best of the best of the best! Her music has gotten me through some really tough times as well as really happy times.

[@mvmalone_]

this whole set hits nice in the morning with a cup of coffee

[@cymbalfreak06]

Gonna give this a try in the morning

[@ADAMHECHT-u8f]

I m doing this now

[@khartkisses]

Still Clean gave me goosebumps. My goodness that girl is awesome.

[@stevoptown]

They have a nostalgic 90's sound to them. Sounds awesome!

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

Shotgun is one of the best songs ever. I have had it on repeat since it launched. I love how honest this band is. I feel like there is a lot less pretense in the way they present both themselves and the music.

[@cohlblack]

Never heard her before but her music is so beautiful ♥

[@paperclipantenna]

What a sweet, sweet voice and pure talent on display. One of the best Tiny Desks ever.

[@debaserNYC]

love that they are all wearing Soccer Mommy shirts.. sounds great!

[@rylannichols8761]

Been to three of her concerts, safe to say I love her music. So glad they got to do this!

[@Sarah-hc6kj]

Color Theory got me though 2020! I got to see this group live last month and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Sophie is an incredible lyricist.

[@msjasminenap]

color theory was sooo underrated and seeing the comments here, it seems like it's an album that get people through 2020 and early pandemic so much... i'm so curious on their live set though! hope to be able to see them live too soon

[@emilyserrano5003]

Used to listen to soccer mommy in middle school and I'm in college now! Crazy to see the band on NPR.

[@VOByRobbins]

Love this performance!!! Great music, the care put into the performance is impressive, Sophie's vocal's are so melodic and emoted perfectly, well done! I'd love to see them live!!!!!! Thank you Tiny Desk--- gonna search out their original performance now, great music!

[@rickyisaac6837]

I loved this entire performance, especially this rendition of Still Clean. I saw her perform here in DC a few months back, and during her performance of Still Clean you could hear a pin drop… she completely captivated the entire room.

[@sangeryoo]

I really wish she did Bones. I absolutely love that song from her latest album...

[@emmapanvil]

Been waiting for Soccer Mommy to come back to do a in person show🤞🏻this was so lovely. Thank you Tiny Desk❤️❤️

[@eyeDavid]

Her voice is so calming

[@mosaiahevans9021]

saw her live up and center and it was the most amazing experience ever. she spoke to my soul and my body basically touched the ceiling. would recommend everyone to do it once in their life

[@RockOfGreece]

So glad this had somgs from all her albums. I was thinking recently that sophie has achieved such great things in a time span from 2016 till now. An important period in my life too. It's like a journey she was along with me all that time. She also played some of my favourite tunes of her :')

[@JadBourji]

She's really something... A joy to watch and listen to. Greetings from Beirut, WOW

[@izefreeze]

Still Clean was perfect. Soccer Mommy is such a special artist.

[@dennyedmondson4146]

Beautiful poetry around and around good music. Stay human.

[@franki1990]

[@mr.puppycat9019]

Wow she has a beautiful voice and the music is really good. Nice vibe l love it .

[@dertythegrower]

The name is as creative as yours 😆

[@mr.puppycat9019]

@@dertythegrower oh ....ok

[@lequinntessential]

I just adore the fact that she is a nerd at heart donning a semi-emo facade while writing fresh, creative pieces of electronic pop-rock. Four albums in, including 'Evergreen', and I remain excited about her music

[@dustink9297]

This was so crisp! Incredibly tight-knit group, thank you!!

[@scorpiusdiamond]

The bubble noises in Circle The Drain are choice

[@Joshua-fy1lu]

[@Absydion]

You sound great Sophie! Thanks to you and your band for the lovely performance!

Saw them/her as support to The National in Dublin - very impressed and so was the audience 🥳

[@likeahurdle]

finally!!! been waiting for this tiny desk too long!! love soccer mommy, color theory is definitely one of the albums of my life ❤

[@MixolydianMode]

I am sensitive when it comes to music. I get bored easily and also stressed out when something bothers me about a song. Soccer Mommy never stresses me out, i like her style.

[@bloodstone816]

this warms my Soul so much

[@juliahusar]

I saw them live last year and I’m glad that they’re all still killing it!!!!

[@kenmoozi]

[@SamKabiru]

She is so good!! 🔥🔥🇰🇪

[@ellalexae]

Still Clean, amazing as always.❤️

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

I'm surprised how the majority of these comments are very sarcastic/mean. Until you can do a better job, shut up. Thank you NPR for the bands you choose for these tiny desk concerts. I never would have heard of most of them without your programs. It's an honor to be chosen.

[@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth]

It's always like that in early comment section, just give it a day for normal folk to downvote miserable morons and pathetic trolls into oblivion and it will look civilized again.

[@brielle9502]

favorite band for like 4 years now

[@argellomarks]

Really nice seeing Fantano on the bass

[@fuzzybug29]

So happy right now! Great artist. One of my top favorites. I had tickets when the pandemic shut everything down. I finally got to see them live this winter and it was so good. Worth the wait!

[@mrc767]

Love this the more times I hear it.

[@touchdowntide4]

Just seen them in Nashville opening for Maggie Rogers and they killed it! Made me a fan and brought me here. @soccermommy

[@AndrewNeilMusic]

I have written over 400 songs. I really want to play here before I die

[@liamtjcain]

You will
