Benjamin Francis Leftwich: After The Rain (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

If you're into melancholy acoustic folk, Benjamin Francis Leftwich is your man. Five years after 'Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm', this York singer - songwriter is back with 'After The Rain', a 12 - track LP. Filled with soft tales of triumph over life's hardships, as Leftwich faced the loss of his father and personal issues between his debut and this album. The melodies and occasional electronic touches stem from his sadness, yet there's a calming feel in songs like 'Mayflies', 'Tilikum', 'Summer', 'She Will Sing', and 'Just Breathe', offering a precious, otherworldly listening experience. This is a limited - edition, indie - exclusive green vinyl version with a digital download. It's from the music label Dirty Hit in 2016. Reviewed by donut savage in 09/2016.

Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your record player and drop the needle gently on the start of the groove. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints or dirt on it, which can affect the sound quality. After each use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve carefully to protect it from scratches. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat, as these can warp the vinyl. Also, keep it upright to prevent any bending. With proper care, you can enjoy this beautiful music for a long time.
