The release of Ben Wright Smith's 2015 singles 'No One' & 'Born Yawning' propelled the young folk artist to the forefront of the Australian music scene, being nominated for an illustrious APRA award, whilst amassing a staggering 300,000 plus plays on music streaming service Spotify.

"The track sees Smith once again proving why he's one of the country's most exciting songwriters" - TONEDEAF

"Smith is gritty and addictive in all the right places" - ADAM NOT EVE

"Twangy guitar-dominated folk a rock-n-roll edge with grittier guitar riffs" - SPEAKER TV

Now Ben Wright Smith has teamed up with the uber talented Oscar Dawson from renowned indie rock band HOLY HOLY (production) & Ali Barter (vocals) to deliver us his next single 'SAND GRABBER'. The upbeat, summery & ultimately 70's record is some of the Melbourne artists best work yet, showcasing not only his vocal diversity but his phenomenal song writing ability. Wright Smith worked with an array of instruments during the writing process from timeless staples through to futuristic synthesizers & drum machines allowing him to bring this folk-esc, psychedelic single to life.

"Sand Grabber came from a jam I was having with my buddy Nic. We were playing around with some synthesizers and some 80's drums machines when I started playing the weird chords in the bridge of the song. I don't think I've ever written something so illogical or in such a backwards way but it sounded cool so I went with it." - Ben Wright Smith
