内容紹介

Smoosh write and play music that captures the pure enthusiasm and unadulterated bliss of making art for the joy of it. The band is made up of two sisters, aged 12 and 14; one playing drums and the other handling keyboards and vocals. This is their second record, and they've toured with Jimmy Eat World, the Go! Team, and Mates of State. They've also played with the likes of Rilo Kiley, Pearl Jam, Death Cab for Cutie, Sufjan Stevens, Sleater-Kinney, and Cat Power (the latter of whom paid tribute to Smoosh by including a lip-sync performance of one of their songs in her live set).

Amazonレビュー

Even in an alternate universe where it wasn't necessary to have dozens of "girls can rock... too!" cover stories throughout the 1990s, the young women of Smoosh (who can rock, too!) would still be exceptional. See, these Seattle-based sisters have been making intriguing music together since 2002, when they were eight and ten years old. This drums and keyboard duo was instantly a minor phenomena (perhaps unintentionally tapping into indie-rockers' obsession with childhood concerns), opening up for the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Cat Power in venues they had to be escorted to by their parents. And while there is an element of novelty to their songs (sample lyric: "What about macaroni--let me finish--salad?"), they’re also smart, funny, and fun as hell. Their second album and first for powerhouse indie Barsuk, Free to Stay, is loaded with complex harmonies and awesome distorted keyboard sounds (hey, this is what Quasi were supposed to sound like!). The vocal style owes more to contemporary pop than emo, which is a good thing, especially since the melismatic stuff is kept at a minimum. Free to Stay is fully excellent. --Mike McGonigal

5つ星のうち4.0 fun, full, dynamic album
2008年11月23日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

I ordered this album after a renewed interest in the band on pulling out She Like Electric to listen to again, and I am glad to say that my hopes were fulfilled with this second album.

Like in the first album, there seems to be experimentation, but this one seems a bit fuller, deeper, and cleaner. Many of the songs seem to take the listener on a journey, often temporarily switching keys or keyboard instruments and entering side tunes. There seems to be a large amount of variety between the songs.

I still don't know whether or not part of the appeal of this album to me is the youth factor, but even if it is, I think it definitely goes beyond novelty and contributes to the enjoyability of the album (maybe through certain characteristics of the voices or emerging/new styles).

One minor complaint I have--albeit one I can get past quickly--is that the lyrics weren't included in the insert (as was the case with the first album). The artwork is pretty, though. ...The album's duration is also a little on the short side, at 37 minutes, but what's there is very worth listening to (and very replayable when the end is reached).

I hope this duo thrives and look forward to further albums. The two seem to hold great creativity and skill.

5つ星のうち5.0 Can they beat their first album?

The Smoosh debut album was a charmer; playful, passionate, and melodic. "Free To Stay," though similar in instrumentation and setup, soars ahead with more sophisticated flare without losing the innocence and sincerity of the last album. What's different is a more solid, marketable album demonstrating an amazing maturity by this young duo. Here are a few notable highlights from this solid album:

"Waiting for Something" is an incredibly powerful ballad that features acoustic guitar (the only cut that does actually), and Asya's vocals here would fool anyone that she's 14. Along with "Slower than Gold," these ballads give us an accurate preview of her career as a vocalist in the future, which is more than promising. If you wish to hear another great example, look for Asya's performance on Head Like a Kite's track "Noisy At the Circus" from the album "Random Portraits of the Home Movie".

"Rock Song" is just that, a ROCKIN' song; powerful, energetic, and an incredibly strong chorus. Was this really written by a 14-year-old? Maybe Asya should be writing for some older bands. Amazing.

"Clap On" is a jazzy tune that, again... amazing song writing! Brilliant chorus.

"Find a Way" is the single (or first single) from the album... though perhaps not officially released (yet?), it is obvious this would be the single, and there's even a great music video for this cut, so look out for it. At any rate, this is the album's greatest strength, and tightest song all in all; catchy, strong, just incredible.

When comparing both Smoosh albums, I like both for different reasons. I tend to listen to "She Like Electric" more often, even though I feel this album is stronger as an album. Perhaps the charm of the first album appeals to me more as at times it is more obvious that these are young kids having a good time with music, whereas "Free to Stay" is a greater stride towards complete band success to be recognized for the music entirely, and not the age of the creators. It will be very interesting to see where these girls are 5 years from now. Let's hope they've already proven they can skip American Idol and go right to the top :P

5つ星のうち4.0 Blake Babies Redux -- New and Improved
2006年9月11日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
Is this the greatest Blake Babies album ever, or what? I mean it. Take the test - listen to some of the samples on this Smoosh page, then go over to the Some Girls--"Crushing Love" page and listen to some of those samples. Or go to any of the Blake B's pages - "Earwig" or "Sunburn", for example, and check those samples. Am I right? They're practically the same band as Smoosh!! Juliana and Freda, eat yr hearts out (okay, you, too, John). Now it's Smoosh time, the age of Smoosh, the real heirs to the grrrly-indie rock throne. Get this CD and catch up with the sound of '89 all over again!
