not listened to this yet so here's some chat from the label people..
"Part folkie, part indie-rocker, part comic book artist, with comic / tragic lyrics straight from the heart, and guitar style ranging from finger picked roots to outer space swoops, Jeffrey Lewis has worked on and off in between tours to spin an 11 song production that seems to reflect a love of the last 40 years of popular music, all filtered through Jeff’s unmistakable idiosyncratic muse.
Mostly tracked on classic analogue tape at Brooklyn’s Emandee Studios with engineer and co-producer Mark Ospovat, Jeff’s usual band of drummer Dave Beauchamp and bassist / brother Jack Lewis are joined at various times by friends and acquaintances including French indie-heroes Herman Dune and American banjo troubadour Emily Lacy, and the album even features a lead guitar cameo from Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis.
