Five years after the release of his debut, Benjamin Francis Leftwich has returned with a second album, ‘After The Rain'.

It's being led by ‘Tilikum', the album's first track and a track written in the wake of the death of Benjamin's father. In a post shared on Facebook, he explained that the event, “totally broke me”. “I was broken for a while,” he continues, “but putting what I wanted to say into songs has helped carry me back into the world again.”

Fragile and steeped in emotion, ‘Tilikum' was written opposite his father's old house and produced by Charlie Andrews (Alt-J, Money).

‘After The Rain' follows Benjamin's 2011 debut album ‘Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm' - it's set for release on August 19th via Dirty Hit Records.
