Question
I’ve been listening to the digital version, on the subscription, for a couple of weeks. I absolutely love the variety and color of the female vocals. I’d been particularly vexed by the voice on “I Just Want Your Jeans” because I thought the singer sounded an awful lot like Asya from Smoosh which IS who it is. How did you come to work with her? I think she has an intriguing voice and it works so beautifully on that song as well as on “A Down and Dusky Blonde.”
Answer
I was looking for a singer to ‘voice’ the younger character of cassie, and my wife suggested Asya. Marisa had been touring with eels a few years ago selling merchandise, and smoosh had been the support act, so she got to know them at that time.
Asy came over and recorded ‘jeans’ live with the band, three exemplary takes i think it was, then sang ‘down and dusky blonde’ on which we used her version for two verses.
i can’t wait to hear new smoosh stuff when it comes out!
