Music is nothing if itÆs not conceived for the joy of
it. ôMy favorite thing is how when I play out places, it
makes me feel all happy. I like to watch my friends
watching me,ö confesses Chloe, 1/2 of SeattleÆs Smoosh.
The preternaturally gifted duo spearheads a growing
movement of young female independent bands with an
ingenuous, instinctual wisdom that comes as naturally as
their multifaceted, genre-tickling songwriting. ChloeÆs
older sister Asya, SmooshÆs vocalist and
pianist/keyboardist, wails and croons like an old soul
with her tiny, tremulous voice. The fearless confidence
that often accompanies youth (Asya is twelve, Chloe is
ten) runs through SmooshÆs pop-based quirk rock with
strength and beauty, and people are listening in awe.
Smoosh was born of natural curiosity. While the family
stood in line at SeattleÆs Trading Musician store to pay
for what they had intended to purchaseùa violinùAsya and
Chloe wandered upstairs to the percussion room. There,
they met Jason McGerr (Death Cab For Cutie), teacher at
the renowned Seattle Drum School where Chloe now
studies, and left with a $600 drum kit, JasonÆs card,
and no violin. Asya, having taken several piano lessons
that she then aborted because ôThey made you just play
the same thing, and I wanted to make stuff up,ö joined
in. A small, family-run website was launched that
advertised free copies of home recordings. Soon, the duo
played at OregonÆs booming, highly influential Rock and
Roll Camp for Girls. All-ages shows gave way to glowing
and awestruck reviews by Seattle Weekly and The Stranger
("Smoosh is awesomeö) followed by multiple performances
on renowned radio program KEXP Live. Smoosh found
themselves opening shows for Death Cab for Cutie,
Sleater-Kinney and The Presidents of the United States
of America. And at 2004Æs Sasquatch! Music Festival, Cat
Power paid tribute to the band by lip synching their rap
song, ôRadö, which is shockingly Dismemberment Plan.
All this attention has little to do with the fact that
these ladiesÆ youth is impressive and abnormal--anyone
who investigates Smoosh out of a curiosity for novelty
is quickly put in their place. The bandÆs visibility
will continue to increase as it matures along with the
publicÆs conception of what age bracket and gender is
conducive to making music. By escaping the dominant
paradigm here, Smoosh is the punkest. The bandÆs first
studio-recorded album for Pattern 25 Records, She Like
Electric, brims with intensely diverse and magically
cohesive pop songs that amaze as they engage. The rich
range of the sistersÆ emotional spectrum factor as
strongly into the flavor as vanilla extract: pure,
simple and true. From the joyful and contemplative (ôTo
Walk Away Fromö) to the silly and giggly, (ôThe Quackö)
to the angry and bittersweet (ôBut Now I Knowö), urgency
prevails.
Smoosh is, above all, not afraid to make exactly the
type of beautiful, varied music they want to. You know
why? Because theyÆre feelinÆ it.
And so will you.
