Smart Objects had been on my radar for YEARS before finally seeing them at Exit/In sometime in 2018. It was exactly what I was hoping for - an angular pop/rock project that was suave, smart, deft and adventurous all in one. It didn't take long for me to get into talks with Ben Harper, who helms the project, where we began exchanging ideas here and there. Serendipitously, I was assigned randomly to cover one of his songs as part of the Nashville Song Swap, where Nashville bands were all tasked with the same challenge. I covered his song "Die Tonight" which was hella fun, and you can hear it at the end of this podcast. Enjoy!
