Asya & Chloe Of The Band Smoosh Announce New Project Chaos Chaos
Chaos Chaos EP S Out October 16
Download "My Hands" At Nylon Magazine
Chaos Chaos, the new project of Asy and Chloe formerly of the band Smoosh, will release their new EP, S on October 16. Nylon has an exclusive premiere of "My Hands" which is also available as an MP3 to post and share. The song will also be released on September 15 as a digital single through iTunes and other digital stores. The
duo's five song EP branches out in different directions stylistically.
Asy says, "We went a little bit crazy with the songs and did not hold
back, so we don't know what you will think." Some of the song lyrics
are influenced by NPR, The Moth, and newspapers, while some are
inspired by poetry by Emily Dickenson, Pablo Neruda and E.E. Cummings.
"The EP is very personal because this is a time in our lives where
we've decided to be extreme with everything we do, especially music. We
felt that if a song was going in a certain direction we had to take it
all the way there."
As Smoosh, Asy and Chloe put out three full-length albums. Their debut She Like Electric was released in 2004 when Asy was 12 years old and Chloe was only 10. Over the years the band toured with Pearl Jam, Death Cab for Cutie, Sleater-Kinney, Mates Of State, Jimmy Eat World, Cat Power, Nada Surf, The Eels and Sufjan Stevens, among others. The band also performed on Yo Gabba Gabba and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
In 2012, two decided it was time for a change and formed Chaos Chaos.The duo recorded the songs on S with producer Nathan Rosenberg at The Doghouse Studios in Brooklyn, except for "Winner," which was recorded with Matt Tong of Bloc Party.
There are dance, blues and electronic elements on the EP and the songs
blend electronic instruments with acoustic piano, drums, a trash drum
kit, saxophone, and experimental vocals. The duo launched a Kickstarter project to
fund the EP, featuring the trash drum kit used on the EP as well as
artwork created by the band. The project succeeded its goal within the
first day.
"I
think we are having the most fun making this EP because we have never
approached music this way before. The whole process feels like an
adventure. It will also be very exciting to bring this EP to a live
setting (which will involve the Toys R Us Big Piano, a trash drum kit
and vocal processors)".
