Momma \\u2013 \\u201cBang Bang,\\u201d a 2023 single on Polyvinyl.

With their latest single "Bang Bang," Brooklyn-based trio Momma set out to write something provocative. \\u201cWe wanted to write something lyrically different than anything else we\\u2019d done," explained band member\\xa0Allegra Weingarten,\\xa0"just super literal and crude."

Today\'s Song of the Day came out of a\\xa0COVID bubble between\\xa0Weingarten and her bandmate\\xa0Etta Friedman. "We decided to isolate, get drunk, and write together,\\u201d Friedman said in a press release. \\u201cWithin a night, we had demoed a hot sounding song about great sex.\\u201d

They sent the demo to their bandmate/bassist/producer Aron Kobayashi Ritch. "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," Weingarten says. "The finished song has a lot of classic Momma \\u2013 heavy guitars and catchy melodies \\u2013 but packaged in a different form. It feels immediate, like a whole new sound for the band."
