Melbourne singer-songwriter Ben Wright Smith dives into summer with the release of ‘Out Swimming’, the first single from his forthcoming third album. This track marks the highly anticipated return of one of Australia’s most compelling indie voices, promising heartfelt nostalgia and feel-good vibes perfect for long road trips and beachside escapes. "To make the song, I found myself driving around the whole state with a hard drive recording each part until I eventually had it all. All my friends had packed up and built studios all over the place…so I started out recording drums in a church in Mollongghip, then guitars in a beach shack in Anglesea, bass and acoustic guitars in a studio in the bush near St Andrews, and mixed it in a bungalow in Thornbury,” - Ben Wright Smith
