BENJAMIN FRANCIS LEFTWICH covers M83 and Frightened Rabbit (free download) + UK and US Tour
To celebrate the start of his mammoth UK & US tour this autumn, Benjamin Francis Leftwich is giving away two beautiful covers of M83's "Midnight City" and Frightened Rabbit's "Swim Until You Can't See Land".
They're available as a free download from Ben's website : http://www.benjaminfrancisleftwich.com
Following the release of his critically acclaimed debut album 'Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm', we are able to reveal that Ben has managed to find time in his busy touring schedule to head into the studio to record new material that will be released later this year.
"Its great to be back in the studio", Leftwich commented. "I've been on tour for the last year so it's nice to be making new music again. I'm really proud of the new songs and I'm looking forward to sharing them with people. I'm in a really good creative headspace at the moment and feel like my song writing has developed whilst I've been on tour and experienced new people, places and things."
