Momma are back with “Bottle Blonde,” the latest preview from their new album Welcome to My Blue Sky. On the cut—which follows “Ohio All the Time” and “I Want You (Fever)”—the band cooks up some electronic flourishes, highlighting their signature play of ’90s alt-rock with drum pads and hand claps.

Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten said about the single: “We wrote this song as a letter to our past selves, when we were 23 and 24, stumbling through an extremely grueling tour that ended up taking a huge toll on our hearts and minds. We both had bleached hair and were in the midst of making huge decisions that would change our lives and also our perceptions of ourselves. The song started out as kind of an affirmation to our younger selves, that everything would be OK if you just follow your heart, but now looking back on it the lyrics could also be read as us talking to each other.”
