We’re delighted to have re-released Manhattan, the 2015 LP from cult New York songwriter and comic book artist Jeffrey Lewis. We’ve been fans of Jeffrey’s since 2001. His warm, wise and witty lyrics and lo-fi folk-punk sound is rooted in a New York lineage that runs from Harry Smith in the 50s through the early 60s Greenwich Village folk cafe eccentrics,  Holy Modal Rounders, Fugs, Velvets, punk, CBGBs and more recent antifolk scene (Moldy Peaches, Lach, etc). Check Jeffrey’s “History Of Punk On The Lower East Side” low-budget “movie”.)

Manhattan was initially released on Rough Trade and has been out of print until this new Blang release!
