Smoosh Sign To Barsuk, New Album On The Way

Smoosh might be the most adorable band in the world, but they're no gimmick. Sisters Chloe and Aysa, 12 and 14 years old, respectively, understand pop music better than a lot of people twice their age in the business. Chloe plays drums and Aysa plays keyboards and sings and together they have a knack for sugar sweet melodies that you can't help but hum for days and days. Barsuk Records has obviously noticed their talent and will be releasing their sophomore album Free To Stay on June 20th. This track, "Rock Song" will be on the forthcoming album, however, this is just a demo and not the final album version.

[MP3]: Smoosh :: Rock Song
The song starts off with keyboards that sound like airplane engines buzzing around, and then a sharp drums march comes in. I personally love Aysa's vocals but a lot of people have trouble liking Smoosh because of the vocals, I think they sound really honest and I love when she hits the kind of screech that she sometimes hits. This is just a really fun song.

[BONUS MP3]: Smoosh :: It's Cold

Smoosh is also going on tour with The Eels! I'd highly recommend checking these girls out if they come anywhere near you.
