ALBUM PREMIERE: Ben Wright Smith - 'Echo Lodge'

Three years of material has culminated in Echo Lodge, the new album from Aussie indie pop-rock songwriter Ben Wright Smith, which is premiering on theMusic.com.au today!

Following two EPs - 2018's Psychotropical and last year's Volcano God Head Explodes - Echo Lodge serves as the final instalment and features new tracks like the Melbourne artist's latest single, New Breeze, and new arrangements of songs like Seedpods and Psychotropical Brainstorm.

"I wanted to start releasing the music as we were recording it. I didn’t want to record stuff and have it just sitting there," Wright Smith said.

"I like the idea of finishing music and putting it out in the world as you’re doing it. Even though I’ve been releasing the music as we’ve been recording it, it’s nice to hear it all as an album now, in the end it all just melts together."

Smith will launch the album with a show in Melbourne tomorrow night, followed by a stop in Castlemaine this weekend. Head over to theGuide for more details.
