Emily Borrowman and Atley King Expand Lineup

Rudi Neubrander and Wilson Woods have joined Emily Borrowman and Atley King, expanding the lineup to four members. The quartet wrote the album after moving from Vancouver to Brooklyn. The album follows the standards EP, which was released in February and contains six shoegaze covers.

King said the song milkweed butterfly was written from the perspective of an anxious and depressed child who cannot make sense of certain feelings. The song was recorded in Austin, Texas, with Jackson Baker from witches exist. The album’s lyrics were generally inspired by Borrowman’s move from Vancouver to Brooklyn and address girlhood, grief, and the loss of innocence.

Smush is on an extensive US tour supporting she’s green and will play headlining shows on the West Coast and in the Midwest in November. No UK concert dates have been announced yet.
