Soccer Mommy was supposed to be on tour these days, but the coronavirus pandemic had other plans. In response, the twenty-two year-old Sophie Allison got creative with the situation and is now embarking on an 8-bit music video tour, hitting some of the cities she was meant to be currently passing through: Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle, Toronto, Austin.
Director Bella Clark made sure to approach the city-specific videos in a way that avoided traditional touristy spots and instead placed Soccer Mommy in places like an abandoned subway station for Toronto and a bat-filled bridge in Austin. They did their research for Chicago, setting the visual at the Congress Hotel, which has a reputation for being haunted which gets portrayed in the video shown above.
Check out the full playlist below.
Allison said via the press release:
It’s really hard having our tour be postponed because I was really excited to play all of the songs on color theory for everyone, ‘crawling in my skin’ in particular… I hope this little 8-bit performance can hold everyone over until the tour can happen.
