Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm (2011)

One of the UK’s most exciting new prospects – Benjamin Francis Leftwich
is set to release his stunning debut album ‘Last Smoke Before The
Snowstorm’ on July 4th.

At just 21 years of age, Ben’s songwriting has a complex quizzical
innocence while the songs themselves inspired by a childhood listening
to Rolling Stones, Nina Simone and Bob Dylan, echo the enchanting
wordplay of Feist and the delicate elegance of Elliott Smith.



Work on Ben’s debut album ‘Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm’ started
when he was just a teenager and taught himself to play the guitar. Like
the previous EPs the album is produced by Ian Grimble (Mumford & Sons,
Manic Street Preachers). It’s an understated ten track masterpiece that
showcases the fragile elegance of Ben’s voice, combined with simple,
inviting guitar lines, delicate melodies and poetic lyrics with
graceful charm.
The album ‘Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm’ will be released by Dirty
Hit Ltd on July 4th preceded by single ‘Box Of Stones’ on June 19th.
