Jeffrey Lewis

Often associated with his friends, The Moldy Peaches, New York's Jeffrey Lewis peddles a similar peddle of lo-fi anti-folk indie singing and songwriting, combining equal measures of humour, innocence, fragility and sadness. Singing largely of his own life and experiences, as though filtered through the pages of a comic book, he's a modern day woody Guthrie on a punk rock tip.
