A. Smyth is back with new single Be There, his second release since going solo following a successful stint fronting Vann Music.

Be There sheds the synth heavy sound Smyth has previously been known for, instead embracing a shimmering folk sound reminiscent of Ryan Adams

Be There recorded in Dublin and Wexford with drummer Dennis Cassidy (Selk), bassist Dara Higgins (The Jimmy Cake) and producer Darragh Nolan (Asta Kalapa).

Be There is drawn from Smyth's debut solo album, due for release later this year.

A. Smyth plays Ruby Sessions tomorrow night.
