Ben Lee has been writing songs about the inner workings of his mind and heart for almost 25 years. Whether the subject matter was trying to impress girls in his Year 9 class, the existential poetic yearnings of an 18 year old, his wrestling with ambition and fame, or over the past decade and a half – grappling with matters of spiritual and psychological development – you can never accuse Ben of not wearing his heart on his sleeve.

The Enemy Within’ is the first offering from Ben Lee’s forthcoming 11th studio album Freedom, Love & the Recuperation of the Human Mind. The new track features renowned Americana musician Grant Lee Phillips and is complemented by the beautiful vocal harmonies of folk singer/fiddle player Sara Watkins. To celebrate the release of his new album Ben Lee will be playing some very special shows throughout Australia in November with the support of Danny Ross. Better jump on these shows quick, as tickets are going to disappear in a flash.
