When Lewis Del Mar first dropped their track 'Loud(y)', it was evident that the New York pair had unearthed something quite special, almost deconstructing a garage rock sound into something distinctly their own. It was also no surprise that the two drew attention to radio shot callers such as Annie Mac and Huw Stephens. But like many bands who understand one particular concept...you're only as good as your last single and a great full-length is the true writing on the wall on what an act can do. But like the city that they live in, there is an "F you" attitude toward the rule books, which is actually why their self-titled LP goes far beyond the mark of exceptional-they have musically done what they've wanted to do.
