Pod is the bands 1990 debut and is continually ranked as one of the best albums of the 90s. Recorded by Steve Albini in 10 days, it was released to critical acclaim and Kurt Cobain called it one of his favorite albums of all time.
Pitchfork said Smino "has a melodic vocal style...stretching and warping his vocals to form a new vocabulary." He lawlessly implements hip-hop, funk and soul influences on his refreshing debut album Blkswn.
