Melbourne alt-country singer Ben Wright Smith will play a hometown show at Red Bennies tonight to support the release of his debut album Autumn Safari.
The disc shows the way Ben has grown since releasing his EP Benny and the Kid. While it was straight down the line acoustic folk the album shows more character, with haunting numbers paired with more upbeat, bass driven tunes.
I’ve fallen hard for the romantic single “Been Thinkin’ About You.” It’s simple, but that only proves that often the best things aren’t overcomplicated. If you like it too you can download it for free from Ben Wright Smith’s Triple J Unearthed profile page.
Autumn Safari hits good music stores today.
