Lewsberg - Out & About

 

Some records you know you're going to love even before you start listening to them. Such was the case with Rotterdam's Velvet Underground Lewsburg, and their latest record Out & About.

Like all great leftfield guitar bands, VU, Go Betweens, Modern Lovers, Wire, Delgados, Lewsberg operate between the lines, on the margins. 'Between thought and expression. Lies a lifetime.' Velvet Underground Some Kinda Love.

Lewsberg know this, and write a fascinating new chapter in this school of Rock & Roll theory. This is a record of reflection, thought and poetry which takes its time for those whi havour breton tops, slacks, french cigarettes and occasional shades.

A whole cardboard box of my record collection is dedicated to this louche, artistic way of seeing the world so this gets an immediate thumbs up from me.
