“A figure emerging suddenly from the mist, carrying wisdom deeper than even he knows.” – Pitchfork
“A bracing gust of the avant-garde to the stuffy, crowded field of dream pop” – The Fader
Mark William Lewis is an artist that exists between the cracks. He eschews easy genre
categorisation, plays with the traditional conventions of a songwriter, and creates music that
is poetically sharp, visually vivid, yet texturally opaque. Writing songs that explore the
intersection between intimacy and alienation, connection and disconnection, he is a singular
and bold voice operating in a distinctly unique yet blurry space.
His recent track ‘Tomorrow is Perfect’ is the first release via A24 Music, a song that feels
like the purest embodiment of him as a complete artist to date, blurring the boundaries of
imagery, music and words pushed to the forefront.
Lewis has received praise from Pitchfork and The Fader for his previous releases Sparkles
22-24 and Living, as well as featuring on NYC rap figurehead MIKE’s “Let’s Have A Ball”
and collaborating with Bar Italia’s Nina Crisante on the song “Thinner”.
Over the past few years, Lewis has become a fixture in more innovative spaces of London’s
live music scene, with his performances and music becoming a word-of-mouth success. This
led to sold out US debut shows at Elsewhere and Public Records (NYC) and The Echo (LA)
last year and a full headline show at a sold-out ICA earlier this year. He has previously
released music via Scenic Route, with the vinyl release of joint EP ‘God Complex/Pleasure Is
Everything’ selling out in under 24 hours.
