Press quotes for "Jeffrey & Jack Lewis: City & Eastern Songs"

“A masterful collection of neurotic, ramshackle folk spiked with bursts of punk.” -Time Out New York (2006 Best-Of List)

“All my favorite songwriters are American – Jad Fair, Jonathan Richman and Jeffrey Lewis.” -Eddie Argos/Art Brut

“The best lyricist working in the US today.” -Jarvis Cocker/Pulp

“A more polished effort from the Big Apple’s best-kept secret. NYC’s never exactly lacked eccentric singer-songwriters, but all, from Lou Reed up to Adam Green, would struggle to out-boho Jeffrey Lewis… The likes of “Time Machine” exhibit Velvets-style fuzz, while the speedfreak ramblings of “Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror” show just what makes this comic-book obsessive so unique… Stick with it young fellow – we’re with you all the way.”
NME (8/10)

“Rough Trade arguably boasts the most exciting roster of artists [and] fabulously eccentric American indie mavericks… You can add to that list New Yorker Jeffrey Lewis.” The Sun (4/5)

“Jeffrey Lewis is a god, there’s no denying it.”
Drowned in Sound

“Unhinged songsmithery boasting wry and hallucinatory lyrics… absorbing, hugely entertaining stuff.” - Q

Jeffrey Lewis was raised in New York City and is a maker of comic books, tragi-comic folk narratives, and lysergic garage rock. With brother Jack on bass and David Beauchamp on drums, the Jeffrey Lewis Band mixes 60s acoustic psychedelia like Pearls Before Swine with the experimental art-punk of the Fall and the urban lyricism of Lou Reed, sounding a bit like if Woody Guthrie fronted Sonic Youth. Live shows also incorporate "low budget videos", Jeff’s large illustrations displayed to accompany certain songs. In fall 2007 Rough Trade Records will release Jeffrey's fourth album, which is a collection of songs by the legendary anarchist punk band Crass, reworked by Jeffrey into glorious folk, rock, psychedelic, orchestral and electronica productions which dazzle the ear while losing none of the political power of the originals.

The Jeffrey Lewis Band has toured the US, UK and Europe, sharing bills with Devendra Banhart, Thurston Moore, the Fall, Beth Orton, Frank Black, the Fiery Furnaces, Daniel Johnston, Scout Niblett, the Mountain Goats, Regina Spektor, Adam Green, Kimya Dawson, Cornershop, the Cribs, Danielson, Dr. Dog and others.

Their last release, Jeffrey & Jack Lewis: City & Eastern Songs, was produced by Kramer (Galaxie 500, Butthole Surfers, Low, Daniel Johnston, etc) and was selected as one of 2006’s best albums in Time Out New York, the Boston Globe, CMJ Monthly and elsewhere. Jeffrey's most recent comic book series Fuff is currently up to issue five.
