Smoosh!




The young ladies of Smoosh recently signed with the well-respected pop mavens at Barsuk, who will release their second album, Free To Stay, on June 20th. The duo consists of two young sisters Asya (who is 14) and Chloe (who is 12), and they make catchy indie-pop. Sure, on some level, the whole thing might reek a little bit of 'novelty act,' but these girls are extremely talented. Their debut album was merely OK, and the music seemed about as good as you'd expect from two preteen girls. But that was a few years ago, and now, with a li'l time and growth, their music has grown. Just check out the lead single, "Find a Way."

Listen To: "Find a Way"

Smoosh is soon to depart on a tour opening for The Eels. (Seems right, somehow...)
