It’s funny but the first thing I thought about when I heard the new record from Jeffrey Luck Lewis was the music blog Slowcoustic. Not surprisingly when I did a search I found that they have covered Lewis extensively in the past. Makes sense too since Jeffrey Luck Lewis is a sad sack who sings in a hushed voice over melodramaticly rich and somber instrumentation. I hope that sentence didn’t make it seem like I was putting him down. I for one have had my periods of listening to music like this (two years of David Sylvian on repeat for instance). I’m also a fan of Gregory Page, Tindersticks, Nick Cave and Nick Drake.
The new record is called The Lion’s Jaw and I like the title track from it.
