ADULT MOM - Momentarily Lapse Of Happily LP (Colour Vinyl)

Label: Tiny Engines

Adult Mom is the project of one Steph Knipe of Purchase College, NY. Started in, and forever brewed in a bedroom, Adult Mom is an exploration into the darker subjects of life, the personal and explicit we are often told to keep to ourselves. At the forefront of Adult Mom is honesty and intimacy as Knipe writes clever pop songs that offer a glimpse into the journey of a gender-weird queer navigating through heartache, trauma and subsequent growth.

With their debut LP, Momentary Lapse of Happily, Adult Mom bravely shines a light on the darkness and allows the listener to experience and feel those moments along with them. The album may be a snapshot of the temporary but the listen is one that will stay with you long after. The achingly raw emotions work well with the restrained musical accompaniment. Sparse electronic sounds add to bare guitar, highlighting Knipe’s frail voice, which along with their words is the focus of the album. This is a wonderful debut full-length from Adult Mom.
