Life is not neat. Take band, Say it with a Smile. Part pop, folk, alternative, indie, even blues, this set up is anything but straight forward. But married song-writers Jaron and Katherine Kamin love to exploit boundaries. He grew up going to Jewish Community Center after school; she was raised at a Dutch reformed school. He was a rocker in high school. She was (and is) a jock and closet song-writer.
Needless to say this is not typical, easy-answers pop. The tongue-in-cheek style of the band couples cynical lyrics with the music's upbeat mood. Says Katherine, "We're not bothered by the questions... we'd just be bothered if we weren't asking them."
"The first time I proposed, she wasn't sure," said Jaron. "We went 13 months unsure of the future of our relationship... but we wouldn't take that time back now for anything. I guess we've always been comfortable living in the questions. There's still hope in the questions."
Backed by Tim Koons on cello and electric guitar, Kyle Buffo on bass, and Max Jacobs on drums, Say it with a Smile relishes in questioning the status quo. Largely focusing on their love/ hate relationship with the media, their first full-length album is set to be out early 2010.
