"Weird?

Very... but also downright inspiring" (****) - Rolling Stone “Jeffrey Lewis is an amazing musician, and if you don’t know his songs you probably have a hole in your heart that can only be filled by his words… I did!” – Regina Spektor “Jeffrey is the best pure songwriter I know of... 'Sad Screaming Old Man’… is one of my favorite songs ever written” - David Berman (Silver Jews) The mind-spinning indie-rock/folk/art of Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage developed when songwriter and comic book artist Jeffrey Lewis began recording homemade cassettes in New York City in 1998; his critically acclaimed, unusual and word-dense songs lead to Jeffrey signing to Rough Trade Records in 2001 (record label of The Smiths, The Strokes, etc.), and the project evolved into a live touring cult sensation around the world. Creating a brilliant style of scuzzy urban indie-rock-folk, like a 21st Century mash-up of Sonic Youth, Pete Seeger and R. Crumb, Jeffrey’s band has played countless gigs all over the world, including playing as the opening act for icons like the Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Dinosaur Jr, The Fall, Dr. Dog, Pulp, Roky Erickson, The Vaselines, and more. The forthcoming new album “The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis” (March 21, 2025) was recorded in Nashville by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Lou Reed), the same producer as their previous official album “Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage: Bad Wiring” which was released in Nov 2019 (to rave reviews). Between 2019’s “Bad Wiring” and the upcoming 2025 album Jeffrey digitally self-released five DIY albums from his apartment (spawned by the pandemic-pause on normal touring and recording). With or without bandmates Jeffrey continues to wring folksy spiel and garage bohemianism from his ramshackle guitar, while incorporating his often politically subversive visual artwork and cartoons into live appearances. The current 4-piece touring line-up of Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage includes Mallory Feuer on violin and keyboard, Kait Pelkey on bass and Brent (Moldy Peaches) Cole on drums. 《EVEN MORE Freewheelin' Jeffrey Lewis》在短短四天内在纳什维尔录制,由Roger Moutenot(Yo La Tengo的长期制作人和之前的Jeffrey Lewis专辑Bad Wiring)录制,并以Jeffrey Lewis和Brent Cole的电压巡回乐队为主角,Mem Pahl在低音和Mallory Fee uer on ueruuer和键盘。 Jeffrey 的"反唱歌"风格继续延伸到手艺背后的人性,反映了专辑封面的裸露。 1963 年 2 月的一天,Bob Dylan 和 Suze Rotolo 在纽约市拍摄 The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan LP 封面,位于迪伦的第 4 街公寓的拐角处。 60 年后,终身第 4 位居民 Jeffrey Lewis 想拍摄同样的冷静照片,但不穿裤子,以证明自己比 Bob "更自由"! 这个计划被全球变暖所挫败,因为纽约市的冬天不再提供雪景的街头照片,但至少Jeffrey 试过了。 虽然专辑封面可能是纽约人的邻居笑话,但它也有助于向现代歌曲工匠扔下手套,仿佛指出当代歌曲写作的人都不能完全填满Jeffrey的鞋子(赤脚与否)。 如果您认为 2019 年的 Bad Wiring 是 Jeffrey Lewis 20 年唱片中不可改进的高水印,那么准备好再次震撼。 这里有各种情绪、情境、文字游戏和风格都毫不费力地令人惊叹,如果您没有被这张专辑中的十首歌曲运送到十种不同的情感过山车,那么您可能只是一个聊天 GPT 复制机器人。
