Smoke & Jackal is the new musical project of Jared Followill

Recent years have been torture for fans of Kings Of Leon. Undeniably KOL are not in your best time: after canceling several tours as disparate reasons, members of the band that gave us "Because Of The Times" and "Only By The Night" live immersed in absolute silence, as if it knew in a clear and accurate if they, as a band having future. I do not know if you remember but went to the October 31, 2011 that Nathan told the media that this break would not last more than six months, but here we are restless and anxious, knowing nothing of what these guys are thinking .

Luckily not all idle within Kings Of Leon, Jared Followill, bassist, has just announced that it has joined Nick Brown (Mona) to form a new band called Smoke & Jackal. Surprisingly this interesting duo has already recorded an EP - "EP1" - which will be released on October 16 on RCA Records. Smoke & Jackal apparently recorded this small compact compact in less than a week in the studio in Nashville Brown. "It was all about tone and vibration we felt in that moment" - said Brown in a statement. "No second thoughts, just wanted to enjoy every moment."

The first breakthrough in this work, which will be released on August 28 via iTunes Store and is titled 'No Tell', and can be played right in this post. True, I did not expect anything of the song but I'm out enjoying it. The tiny pop with bluesy reminiscences of 'not Tell' is very reminiscent of U2 and those of the 80 subjects inciting night driving in complete solitude.

We will have to monitor what these two guys. Who knows, maybe there is a lot more crumbs Smoke & Jackal what may appear at first glance.
