"Weird? Very... but also downright inspiring" (four of five stars) - Rolling Stone “[Jeffrey Lewis is] The best lyricist working in the US today.” - Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) “The Big Apple’s best-kept secret.... Genius-gone-ignored… mind-blowing." - NME "Bizarre but brilliant" - Uncut "Hands down my favorite contemporary songwriter" - Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) “All my favorite songwriters are American – Jad Fair, Jonathan Richman and Jeffrey Lewis.” - Eddie Argos (Art Brut), Time Out New York "At his best, [Lewis is] a vulnerable master of the humorously ineffable" - Robert Christgau "Strumming a few chords on a guitar that may well be held together by the stickers covering its front, and leading a band that piles on a cheerful clutter... [Jeffrey is] a clever, articulate wordslinger, coming up with rhetorical conceits... and putting in a lot of preparation... [including] finely reasoned histories... affirming populism through primitivism." - Jon Pareles, The New York Times "Modestly brilliant" - The Village Voice "Bands as magical and genuinely original as this are as essential as oxygen." - Culture Delux "Dazzling" - Mojo "Jeffrey is the only artist I've sent fan mail to.” - Jens Lekman "Jeffrey Lewis sings as though absurdity were truth, and truth absurdity. And I think I agree with him." - Paul Banks (Interpol) "Really great and impressive and inspiring and exciting... There's not a lot of people that can tell a story and use language like that in music." - Will Oldham
