Mouth 4 Rusty began writing and recording simple songs in a small hand-made wooden room in late winter 2009, writing them in about an hour and recording them in around three, to try to preserve the moment they were written.
Joined by a second pair of lungs, they began playing live that August, first as a duo, then a trio, with percussion played with their feet.
After self-releasing their first EP, 'Time Over Money' in March 2010 as a quartet, the group spent their time finding their favourite venues in London and Oslo, and gradually blossoming into a six-piece of violin, cello, double bass, percussion, guitar, melodica and two voices.
Just over a year later, the group was shrunk back to a duo of Matt Rigsby Smith and Emma Davis, with occasional accompaniment from friends.
Mouth 4 Rusty's intention is to make simple, traditionally-inspired songs that people can relate to, hummable music based on life as it unfolds, as early folk music was.
