JACK LEWIS & THE CUTOFFS. Younger brother of Jeffrey Lewis. Sounds more raucous than his thoughtful sibling Jeffrey in a more punky and vocal heavy noisy way. He sounds a bit like Pavement due to his dulcet vocals but alas there isn't the highs that Steve Malkmus reaches. Still its got that Kooky sound with his American drawl and deadpan vocal observations. 11 tracks on Smoking Gun Records
11 tracks of power pop indie-rock from jack Lewis the brother and band mate of Jeffrey Lewis. “L’vov Goes To Emandee With My Unicef Box” jacks first official album to be released is a step away from his self-release CD-Rs, his band is tight, loud, and the songs sound closest to ‘Posters’ or ‘Art Land’ from ‘City & Eastern Songs’. Jack has also played on albums by: Kimya Dawson, Herman Dune, Lisa Li-Lund & is in a musical experiment called Guitar Situations. His lyrics are unexpected and sometimes odd ‘bring you bear, bring your dear, bring your half-assed snake. Everyone come early everyone stay late’. The CD is packed with a selection of jacks best songs and recordings that do them justice, and comes with a booklet of lyrics and art. It is a truly great album. The album will be followed by the release of a split 12” with one of jacks favorite bands the Wave Pictures, out later in the summer on smokinggunrecords.com.
