We say

Yorkshire-born Benjamin Francis Leftwich's Pictures EP was released earlier this year with backing from Radio 1 and XFM, the title track awarded Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record In The World and a Greg James ROTW - we wrote about it in our weekly magazine at the time too. Box Of Stones, another perfectly-crafted track,  follows as his first single proper. An album, Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm comes out on June 20. After recently supporting Noah & The Whale on their UK tour, summer festivals include Dot-To-Dot, Bestival, Boardmasters, Green Man and Glastonbury along with a headline UK tour in June. Video.
