Yo, can we just take a moment to appreciate what Pitchfork has dropped over at their latest update — Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy are officially co-headlining a joint tour together, which feels like one of those quietly perfect matchups that indie fans have been waiting for without quite realizing they were! Lindsey Jordan's been crafting some seriously gorgeous alt-rock compositions with *Valentine* being the standout record I've replayed constantly this year, while Sophy Allison (aka Soccer Mommy) has built her own formidable catalog of deeply personal songwriting through albums like *Clean and look forward to a lot more incredible work from both artists as they hit the road together.
What's really exciting about this pairing is that these two musicians clearly have an artistic kinship — their styles overlap in those sweet spots where emotionally raw lyricism meets beautifully crafted guitar work, making them perfect natural companions on any shared bill. I've been following Snail Mail since her early SoundCloud days and was absolutely blown away when *Valentine* dropped to become one of the definitive indie records of its year; then there's Sophy Allison who just has this way with songs that feel like they're spilling directly out of a diary page — she keeps delivering quietly devastating stuff across every release. The Pitchfork piece is buzzing about what should be an absolutely electric live experience, and honestly I can't wait to catch them both on the same night!
I've got my fingers crossed for some incredible tour dates coming soon, especially since neither artist has done major tours recently so this feels like a really well-timed collab. There's also been some fantastic chatter over at Consequence about how these two are connecting with each other musically and personally in ways that suggest they'll truly feed off one another on stage — which means better performances than either would pull alone. If you're anywhere near where this is passing through, seriously do not sleep on getting tickets because I have a feeling we might be talking about the tour of 2025 (or maybe even '24 depending on how things shake out)!
