Taken from his new album, The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis, due for release on 21st March on Blang Records (and Don Giovanni in the US), Jeffrey Lewis’ latest album single, Relaxation, comes with a lyric video directed by frequent collaborator Matt (Pizza Underground) Colbourn, combining footage of the band performing with a light show, illustrative still images and Jeffrey’s comic speech balloons.
The third music video from the album (watch Just Fun and Sometimes Life Hits You) comes with a sweet and tempting pitch: “Relaxation” kicks out some serious bad-acid folk-rock exposure therapy, like if your Nuggets records were melted by so much burning self-doubt they spilled down the shelf onto your Slick Rick CDs. Eventually, the word games fall aside for a climactic guitar-pedal workout, with bassist Mem Pahl’s jazz-punk phrasings balancing Jeffrey’s slicing slide guitar, as the band launches off into interstellar underdrive; but for that you’ll have to wait for the full-length 6-minute album version to be released with the full album on 21st March.
