New Jeffrey Lewis album coming! 28 Jul 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

JEFFREY LEWIS'  "A TURN IN THE DREAM-SONGS" 
Rough Trade release date: October 11th, 2011
 
Jeffrey Lewis is pleased to announce his new, sixth album for Rough Trade Records. A Turn In The Dream-Songs will be released on October 11th, 2011.  The album follows his 2009 release Em Are I.

Although it's been two years since Em Are I, Jeffrey Lewis has been very busy. In 2010, he released two side-project/collaboration albums ("The Bundles," which was Jeffrey with Kimya Dawson [Moldy Peaches], and "Come On Board," which was Jeffrey with Peter Stampfel [Holy Modal Rounders/Fugs]. He had a tour schedule that took in some far-flung areas like Finland/Russia/Australia/New Zealand and others, plus festival appearances at Primavera, Latitude, Golden Plains and more.
 
He even made ten illustrated/sung historical pieces that were commissioned and filmed for The History Channel (some of which featured Jeffrey performing with Ernie Brooks of the Modern Lovers, and led to Jeffrey's award-winning piece on Sitting Bull).
 
Now, Jeffrey Lewis returns in 2011 with A Turn In The Dream-Songs.
 
All songs were recorded live on two-inch analogue tape at the Analogue Catalogue all-vintage studio in Manchester, UK. A host of Jeffrey's friends guest on the album including members of Dr. Dog, The Vaselines, Au Revoir Simone, The Wave Pictures, Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit, Misty's Big Adventure and Schwervon.
 
The gorgeous artwork for A Turn In The Dream-Songs was done entirely by Jeffrey and will be revealed soon along with the tracklisting.
