Smith & Jones’ new single, Home, is a reflection of Abby and Sophie’s folk duo beginnings, and displays their deep understanding and love for the classic sounds and recording styles of early popular music. In May 2021, Smith & Jones were asked to create a musical response to a visual art installation called Hardenvale (alongside Adam Deusien from Lingua Franca), which is both a celebration and a farewell to the Australian suburban landscape of the previous mid-century. What followed was the creation of the track ‘Home’; a rootsy, acoustic guitar driven song (featuring upright bass by Jon Wilby), recorded completely live by long-time friend, collaborator and producer, Kris Schubert at The Boatshed in O’Connell in July 2021. Lyrically, Home explores the gulf between the longing for stability and the desire for freedom, expressed in the classic two-part harmony, driving guitar playing and raw vocal expression that Smith & Jones have become known for.

The latest single, Highrise, from duo Smith & Jones was recorded live around an old grand piano at The Boatshed in O'Connell in regional NSW. Sung in two-part harmony throughout, Highrise features a layered chord pattern that anchors the sweeping melody, and a hand-picked choir of their peers. This song represents Smith & Jones' new musical direction and their desire to always emphasise the performance and songs while maintaining the connection and rawness that epitomises their work.

When Abby Smith and Sophie Jones started work on their latest album, recorded with Kris Schubert at The Boatshed in O'Connell, it became about more than creating; it was also about saying farewell to their youth and naiveté, and tuning into the magic and freedom of a new musical age. And magic is abundant in their latest single, Waiting On My Turn, ringing out through the open tuned Gretsch strum, the sparse hammond work, and the vocal performances of these two remarkable voices. Lyrically, Waiting On My Turn explores ideas around longing, and finally facing the truth of one's own identity, even if it is seen through a veil of wanting. Musically it is a muted and fragile thing; each instrument plays its part without embellishment, letting the two voices carry the story along with the sensitivity and honesty Smith & Jones have become known for. Waiting On My Turn marks a new chapter for Smith & Jones, and is the musical representation of two souls who decided to yearn, and wait, and make magic, together.

Smith & Jones have teamed up with Rusty Shutter Films and Lingua Franca to produce the film clip for Secondhand Heart. Filmed at the historic Tremains Mill in Bathurst and featuring dancer Alison Plevey, the clip is an ambitiously imaginative deviation from their previous videos, tying together movement and music to give further weight to the subject matter. Smith & Jones have never been ones to follow the pack. Though classified as alt-country, their goal has never been to remain within the confines of any genre, preferring to let their sound and their songs take them where they will. Nowhere does this desire for individuality shine brighter then on their debut single from their soon to be released second album ‘Something Worth Learning’: the rocky, drum and piano led Secondhand Heart. Written by Abby Smith Abby Smith - vocals, piano Sophie Jones - vocals, acoustic guitar Matt Ferry - lead guitar, backing vocals Michael Carpenter - bass, drums Made by Michael Carpenter at Linear Recording and Love Hz Studios Assisted by Dorny Mayes and Kylie Whitney

Fresh off the back of a hugely successful 2017 for alt-country duo Smith & Jones comes the third single from their debut album Dark Gives Way: the retro-country, piano driven ‘Your Achin Heart.’ Abby Smith - piano, vocals Sophie Jones - acoustic guitar, vocals Matt Ferry - lead guitar Michael Carpenter - drums, bass Written by Abby Smith Film Clip Featuring: Jesse Alston as lead actor Lian Wong on bass Michael Carpenter on drums Matt Ferry on lead guitar Massive thanks to Jack Duggans Irish Pub, Bathurst and The Hub, Bathurst for use of their spaces and our "rent-a-crowd" at the pub Featuring lead guitarist Matt Ferry, Your Achin’ Heart is a song about a broken-hearted man, suddenly alone in a world he no longer understands. Adrift and disconnected, entirely taken up by memory and long-forgotten joy, he grapples to grasp on to any small token of reality. Though dealing with heavy concepts, the song is far from gloomy. With its piano driven rhythm and vintage rock vibe, Your Achin’ Heart becomes an anthemic sing-along pulled straight from the country rock traditions of the 70’s. Produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Michael Carpenter at Love Hz Studios Video produced, directed and edited by Michael Carpenter for MCMI - Music Imaging with Kylie Whitney assisting
