Mark William Lewis - Pleasure Is Everything / God Complex LP (Scenic Route, 2024)
RECOMMENDED. Tastefully patient, sophisticated, lush (yet somehow minimal?) modern guitar pop from London-based songwriter Mark William Lewis.
"Recently issued on vinyl for the first time by Scenic Route (who are credited with discovering Baltimore’s Nourished by Time), Pleasure Is Everything / God Complex compiles two cult favorite releases from London-based left-field pop artist Mark William Lewis. There’s some connection to the world of Dean Blunt here with Lewis’ cowboy-like vocal delivery and doomed songwriting (both artists have collaborated with Italian musician Nina Cristante). Lewis brings an instrumentalist’s edge here though with some immensely satisfying harmonica playing and crispy country-blues guitar." - In Sheep's Clothing
