Aside from their upcoming UK tour, Benefits is also working on their second studio album, which will be released in the near future. The band's lead Kingsley Hall, spoke with NME in an exclusive interview published on June 23, 2023, stating:
"We want to get stuff out as soon as possible. The point of the band originally was to react to current urgencies: political, social or whatever. It could be 750 people drowning in the Med or five millionaires drowning in a submarine, that could be child poverty going through the roof in my constituency..."
Benefits released their debut studio album, Nails, on April 23, 2023. The album was written over the course of two years and, upon its release, was a critical success.
