"Seattle sister act Asya (age 14) and Chloe (age 12) keep the innocence and sweetness in indie rock, and thank goodness for that. Performing under the Smoosh moniker since 2002, the duo's 2004 debut album, she like electric, introduced a smart, enthusiastic, and imaginative pop sound from the tween duo. Their second album, free to stay, stays true to that high-spirited approach while the double-attack of Chloe's drums and Asya's keyboards make for a brighter, sugarcoated pop sound. Smoosh runs through a barrel of emotions well suited for any age, and they also remind us that rocknroll is a helluva lot of fun." (Venus)
