ALBUM REVIEW: Jeffrey Lewis – The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis

Blang

Released: 21.03.25

Comic book artist, anti-folk mainstay, multi-hyphenate bard – across dozens of albums in myriad incarnations, Jeffrey Lewis has been ploughing the same furrow for more than 25 years and while there’s rarely any radical shift in direction, why should there be when your songs are this good and your sound is so beloved?

With a timely nod to Dylan in the title and cover, EVEN MORE is classic Lewis, full of self-doubt, hard times, frustration, counter-cultural nods, plain ole love and more. Beneath the simple, often pretty rough, instrumentation and his voice like ‘sand and glue’, there are always great songs scattered across his albums and EVEN MORE is no exception – DCB & ARS, Relaxation and lead single Sometimes Life Hits You are among his best.
