“[Jeffrey Lewis is] The best lyricist working in the US today.” - Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) “The Big Apple’s best-kept secret…. Genius-gone-ignored… mind-blowing.” - NME “Bands as magical and genuinely original as this are as essential as oxygen.” – Culture Delux “Weird? Very… but also downright inspiring” (four of five stars) - Rolling Stone New York anti-folk musician and graphic artist Jeffrey Lewis has been described as brilliant, bizarre and left-of-center. His music is a weaving together of winding lyrics and anti-folk riffs. He uses this sound to document his musings, opinions and insecurities and often throws wildly imaginative fantasies in the mix. Described by The Guardian as having a “Cult Following”, Lewis’s discography is as wide ranging and intriguing as his lyrical content. Signed to Rough Trade, the same label as The Strokes and Sufjan Stevens, Lewis has collaborated and toured with Devendra Banhart, Jarvis Cocker, Thurston Moore and many others. In 2007 he released the album “12 crass songs” consiting solely of his own covers of Punk-Band Crass’s songs, the album gained huge popular support including a nod from Crass themselves. Lewis has his own comic book series called “fuff’ and his latest album EM ARE I is a vehicle for an emotional delivery of mesmorising lyrics and sounds.
