Smoota

 How many licks does it take to get to the center of Smoota? He's not telling, but he welcomes you to find out. Most tales of love portray the first glance, the first laugh, the first kiss. But they trail off when the lights go out. Smoota sings love songs that tell the whole story — from first glance to first lick to last sigh. Nothing is out of bounds if it's true.Smoota's music has been described as “hyper-sexed, sensual alt-soul grooves" (Time Out New York) and "an excellent example of how the libido sounds" (San Diego Reader).Other Music in NYC praised Smoota's debut LP FETISHES (2013, Body To Body Records): “Combines the slinky DIY funk grooves of Shuggie Otis with the offbeat, trippy psychedelic stoner charm of James Pants, all topped off with a sly pervy streak that winks toward Serge Gainsbourg and the P-Funk mob….Smooth, laidback soul and funk that's slightly gritty at the edges; he's a skilled musician with the chops to pull this off."His second full-length album is coming in late 2017.
