Smoosh gained early recognition through their connection with Death Cab for Cutie drummer Jason McGerr, who instructed Chloe at the Seattle Drum School, and the support of well-known indie acts Cat Power and Sleater-Kinney.
The group released three albums (She Like Electric, Free To Stay, Withershins) and toured internationally with Eels, Bloc Party, and The Dresden Dolls before disbanding in 2012. On June 12 of that year, the group announced via Facebook that Asya and Chloe would continue recording under the name Chaos Chaos.

Smoosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to find a way
Cause we're trying to find a way out
And I don't know why
Cause you're trying to find your way out
And I just don't know why
Cause you're trying to find yourself
Because you need me
Every single day
Trying to find me
But you don't know why
Trying to find me again
But you don't know how
Trying to find me with love
Every single day
Because you need me
Every single day
Trying to find me
But you don't know why
Trying to find me again
But you don't know how
Trying to find me again
Every single day
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
The lyrics to Smoosh's song "Rock Song" are open to interpretation, but one interpretation is that the song is about someone who is struggling to find their way in life and is searching for love and support from someone else. The first few lines suggest that the person the singer is addressing is lost and looking for guidance. The singer is acknowledging that they don't understand why the other person is lost, but they want to help them find their way.
The chorus repeats the idea that the person needs the singer every day and is trying to find them, but they don't know why or how. The repetition of this line emphasizes the desperation of the person's search for love and support. The final "whoa" section of the song is a nod to the catchy, rock-style chorus, perhaps meant to give the song a feel-good, upbeat ending.
Overall, "Rock Song" is a poignant reflection on the way love and support can guide us through difficult times, and how we can help others find their way.
