Tune of the Week: Smoosh

Smoosh is an interesting American indie pop duo. They are interesting because Asya, the singer/keyboardist is 14 years old and her sister, the drummer Chloe is just 12.

Smoosh released their first album, She Like Electric, on September 2004. Their second album titled Free to Stay was released in June 2006. I learned from their Wikipedia entry that neither of them can read music and that Asya quit piano training because she found it boring. Girls, who write their own music are signed to Barsuk Records. There is lots of coverage about this interesting duo, and this page has a lot links and information on the young duo. In addition to their official page, there is a fan site which has some news and streams of Smoosh songs. There is also a Myspace page as can be expected.

The song I chose from them is Rad, which is from their She Like Electric album. This is a very happy and cheerful song and definitely leaves a smile on your face after you listen to it.

In addition, here is a live performance of Smoosh playing Rad:
