we are music band ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚smush˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆
smush, the project of songwriting duo emily and atley king, has been an outlet for us, as young lovers, to reflect onto the world what we’ve found within each other. with the help of countless friends, records, and inspirations, we are proud to have created a space where people feel understood, accepted and welcomed for who they are. by emphasizing contrasting music styles and setting, smush expands on the most important music of the 90s and onwards. with a growing audience of both the youth of then and now, our music has found a way to speak to a part of our human condition which remains unhealed. understanding a pain felt by so many, we offer an open invitation to anyone looking for a shoulder to cry on, a friend to the lonely, or a noise to fill up the silence.
more about our music ✩♬₊˚၊၊||၊ . ݁˖
our first full length album, if you were here i’d be home now, is drenched in a thick fuzz with catchy hooks and melodies overlayed. lyrically, we explore the grief of moving on, growing up, and finding new love. written over 3 years with some riffs even predating our first meeting in 2020, we poured everything we had into this collection of songs from the moment we started writing together. recorded and mixed by jordan koop at the noise floor and mastered by brock mcfarlane at cps mastering, this music couldn’t have been in better hands. a thousand thank you's are owed to jay christie, for playing drums for our first live shows, two tours, all over the whole record, up until our last shows in vancouver.
