Smith & Frank
Where on earth have these pair come from? Smith & Frank is, Toby Meadows and Taija Marie Davis and their home-made ambient indie pop is a one of a kind sound flowing through Brisbane's ears at the moment.
After a night of rain and wine, with the help of a built-in MacBook microphone, they discovered their sound was something special with 'Sorry For Being Brief'. The better part of instruments are found in household items and oddities lying around, giving their sound a raw and powerful feel. The following weeks saw plenty of writing and studio time then the release of their debut single - 'Charlie'. And people are loving it! Losing their radio play virginity with The Sunday Washup with Dave and Kieren last week, they've been overwhelmed with the reponse and are frantically gathering more material and setting up what is sure to be a live show like none other.
I'v known Taija for quite a while now (via the internet) but didn't realize she was so talented.
Check out a couple of their tunes.
