In Heavy Rotation: Lewis – L’amour – Light In The Attic

Lewis – Romance For Two

Being swamped by all the work associated with a new semester, with a new schedule and a new class meant that there was quite a bit of music that I was a bit late on. This is one that virtually everyone was late on to begin with. Lewis porduced this private press album in the 1980s. Very few copies were pressed, very few people paid any attention. As is often the case, crate-diggers came to rescue of this album, championing it informally until it finally ended up into the hands of some of the peeps at Light In The Attic. I haven’t checked to see if they’ve fully solved the mystery behind Lewis, but there ain’t no mystery about how good this music is. I’ve taken to describing it as what would have happened if John Martyn had recorded with Mark Hollis, very very very late at night. When it’s good, it’s REALLY f**king good, as is the case with “Romance For Two.”
