About This Item
When Jody Smith got out of the military at the end of 2019, the last thing on his mind was releasing an album. He had just finished five years as an Army infantryman, and his main goal was getting on his feet as a civilian. The pandemic made the transition even harder. Finding himself shut up at home in Atlanta, Smith decided to record an album under the name Black Nash, which he'd been using casually for home-recording projects throughout his time in the Army. Performed and recorded by Smith himself (with support on drums from friends in Florida and Nashville), the resulting self-titled debut is a 25-minute blast of claustrophobic energy, driving from guitar-heavy climax to guitar heavy climax. The songs rarely last more than three minutes, and bristle with force and tension. The feelings of restlessness are universal.1. Alligator2. Zodiac3. No Idea4. Burn My Body Down5. White Out6.
