MY LATEST NOVEL
+ Jeffrey Lewis
Doors 7.30
Glasgow's My Latest Novel celebrate the release of their new single 'The Reputation Of Ross Francis' [on Bella Union]. MLN brilliantly merge soaring violins with breezy folk melodies and post-rock sea shanties with a remarkable inventiveness and artistry. The band?s stunning debut album ? 'Wolves'? is released on 13th March.
?The Glaswegian Arcade Fire?s debut is fragile, epic and melancholic? [NME].
Jeffrey Lewis was raised on New York City's Lower East Side by loving beatnik parents. Tonight he plays a live set inspired by the gentle psychedelic folk of Donovan, the DIY magic of Daniel Johnston, and the fearless early recordings of local folk-punk legends the Fugs.
"NYC has 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]
"Bizarre but brilliant? slugging it out to be New Rock capital of the universe, Jeffrey Lewis could well be New York's ace in the hole." [Uncut]
?For stressed-out, maudlin and anxious twenty-somethings there are few better spokespeople than Jeffrey Lewis. Chunky punk and skittery electronics border lush backdrops of slide guitar and banjo. It?s what his intelligent and witty songs have long deserved.? Time Out
