Does anyone else here like Jeffrey Lewis? For those of you who don't know him, he's an Anti-Folk singer/songwriter from NYC. He's criminally underrated even though he is probably one of the best contemporary lyricists out there. He may not make the most accessible music, but it IS some of the most rewarding. Jeffrey Lewis appreciation thread. Favorite albums? songs? comics?

huh, thanks for this thread, user. can't contribute much to discussion, but I'm definitely gonna keep listening to his stuff. I think I've heard of him before though, think he might be on the same label as a band I like.
Asher Green
no problem, he's really great. He's on Rough Trade records, is the band you're talking about on that label too? Who are they?

Don't Be Upset is GOAT
OP you seem passionate, what is his best album?
Levi Lopez
Oh, I am. That''s a tough question. I'd say its between 'Em Are I, City & Eastern Songs, and A Turn In The Dream Songs. Those are all great albums. As a matter of fact its actually difficult to just pick one favorite Jeffrey Lewis album because I feel like he has yet to make a perfect record yet with no filler tracks. Don't get me wrong, even the filler stuff is great. But there isn't exactly one album you can point to and say "this is Jeff at his best" because a lot of his albums have pretty different vibes from each other. His newest album, Manhattan, might be his most accessible one he's made yet (it's still a Jeffrey Lewis album though, so don't expect something you could bump at a party). If I had to pick a best album I'd say City & Eastern Tapes. It's really open to debate though, it's just hard to find anybody else as obsessed with this guy as I am. He's been around since the late 90's/early 2000's and yet he's still virtually unheard of by most folks.

to me he's just a real artist, great artwork and certain songs are pop poetry. Lovely man, keep him in the back pocket and listen to him alone. I think super fame would freak him out so I don't tell anyone about him. I think if we keep him a secret now, then in 30 years our kids will be able to get hella cred by busting him out on future Sup Forums as a lost treasure.

Jeffrey Lewis is my shit dude. "So long I'm going to go draw alone in my shack" and "the Chelsea hotel oral sex song" are some of the best lyrics I've ever heard in any song. He's hilarious and earnest and criminally underrated. His newest album that dropped last year that basically flew under everyone's radar is fantastic too.
