2021 Tapes DIGITAL ALBUM
NOTE: This is ONLY available to buy digitally. There are no physical copies. We will send you a download code. It's also available digitally only at the Jeffrey Lewis Bandcamp page.
For whoever might be interested, this is my 2021 tape. Not making physical copies though. Available only as a digital download. Thanks for your support.
When I started making up songs in the late 90s I would usually make a tape full of songs at least once a year, and then I'd try to sell copies of the tapes at open mic nights and any place I could play. After a few of these annual cassette-albums I started having the opportunity to release stuff on CD, and the opportunity to release stuff through record labels, but I never stopped making up songs and recording them any way possible. It was all from following the example of how Daniel Johnston had done it. All my 20+ years of recording songs I owe to Daniel! RIP!

All songs by Jeffrey Lewis, but #18 is from the Burning Hell and #14 was written for Peter Stampfel because he wanted new words to the old Watts-Ryerson song from the early 40s. And #4 "Vaccinated" is based on the Joey Ramone "Sedated" song that was based on the Alice Cooper "Elected" song that was based on the Dennis Dunaway(?) "Reflected" song. Mostly home recordings played into a voice-memo thing. Nellie Bridge is doing the additional vocal on #3, Sleepy Kitty (Paige and Evan) played/recorded the backing band stuff on #4 (and the drums on #8), and Damian Quinones is the one playing the lead guitar on #16. Damian also helped engineer some of #8 at his apartment.
Mastered by Brian Speaker.
