“Like a cross between Barry White and Barry Gibb, young Brooklynite Smoota plays lusty pop…. An excellent example of how the libido sounds…. You got to check out this cat’s spare yet groovy, uncomfortably honest yet funny fare.” – San Diego Reader
“A lil 70s, a lot of man, & even more sexytime. It’s so funny, cool & on point it can only be described as art.” – Vin de Syrah
“I’m psyched to be offering up this great release by local provocateur Smoota, best known as a sideman lending his formidable horn-playing talents to the likes of TV on the Radio, El-P, Sharon Jones, and countless others, but who steps out on his own for a killer album that 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. (Big props for the cover art’s nod to Jean-Claude Vannier’s L’Enfant Assassin Des Mouches as well.) Made solely with bass guitar, Wurlitzer organ, trombone, a Maestro drum machine, and Smoota’s voice, the twelve songs on Fetishes offer up a killer platter of smooth, laidback soul and funk that’s slightly gritty at the edges; he’s a skilled musician with the chops to pull this off, playing everything himself and singing every note, and his take on this sound offers riches that reward with multiple listens. It’s definitely one of the year’s most surprising records (it literally came to us from out of nowhere, self-released by the man himself), and if you dig soul sounds that keep one foot in the pocket with the other out to lunch, you’ll definitely appreciate what Smoota’s offering here. This one definitely gets top marks all around from me!” – Other Music (Record Store in NYC)
