Kings Of Leon bassist Jared Followill and Mona frontman Nick Brown have unveiled the first results of their new side project Smoke & Jackal.
‘No Tell‘ is the debut single from the pair, and is streaming through Soundcloud below.
A six-track EP entitled ‘EP1‘ will follow on October 15th after being recorded earlier this year. According to the duo, ‘No Tell’ was written on the very first night they recorded together at Brown’s studios in Nashville, with the final EP being finished within a week.
“Coming together just worked,” Jared Followill has remarked. “I think it’s because we took such an easy approach to it, we didn’t bring any egos to it. We just talked about each other’s ideas, neither one of us got our feelings hurt. It just worked.”
“It was all about tone and vibe and what felt right in that moment,” Brown adds. “Not second guessing, just having fun in that moment.”
