Jeffrey Lewis gør sig i en særegen form for indierock, der også plukker de bedste virkemidler fra folkmusikken. Det er ikke tilfældigt, at hans kommende plade får titlen ”The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis” (Bob Dylan-fans fanger referencen!).
Det hele startede med, at Jeffrey Lewis indspillede og udgav hjemmelavede kassettebånd i New York City. Selvfølgelig ville skæbnen, at hans pudseløjerlige og super charmerende sange skulle udgives på et rigtigt pladeselskab. Siden har Jeffrey Lewis spyttet musik ud – både officelle, ”rigtige” albums og hjemmeindspillede løst-fra-hånden-albums, som er lige så gode som de officielle.
Sideløbende har projektet også udviklet sig til at være et decideret liveband. Jeffrey Lewis har spillet side om side med helte og forbilleder som Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston, Stephen Malkmus, Dinosaur Jr, The Fall, Roky Erickson og The Vaselines.
Og det er netop i dét selskab, at Jeffrey Lewis retteligt har hjemme. Oversælger vi ham, tænker du? Ikke det mindste! Jeffrey Lewis er en ener, som er kriminelt overset af flertallet, men til gengæld knuselsket af mindretallet. Mon ikke du hører til sidstnævnte? Tænkte det nok, musik-connoisseur!
Nu svinger den amerikanske original forbi HUSETs Xenon-sal med sit band. Her kan du se frem til hans fabulerende fortællestil og særlige tilgang til sin ramponerede guitar. Han er i øvrigt kendt for ofte at lade sin kunst og tegneserier (ja, det kan han også!) indgå i sine liveoptrædener.
Så mere er der ikke at sige. Tryk du på købsknappen, og så ses vi snart i HUSET.

Oplev det svenske band, der blander punk, pop og prog til en intens og eksperimenterende lydoplevelse.
Mary Anne's Polar Rig ruller ind med energi, nerve og skarpe melodier.
Mary Anne's Polar Rig har rødder i Malmøs DIY-scene og har siden debuten Makes You Happy (2021) opbygget et ry som et kompromisløst og nysgerrigt band.
Guitarduoen Malin Hofvander og Harald Ingvarsson udgør kernen i gruppen, som live forstærkes af to ekstra musikere.
Med albummet Makes You Wonder (2023) udvidede de deres lydunivers i nye retninger – mere komplekst og tungt, men stadig med masser af nerve og melodisk kant.
Musikken balancerer mellem det støjende og det fintlagte, og sangene bevæger sig fra kaotisk energi til episke, næsten progrockede kompositioner.
Rygtet siger, at bandets næste projekt bliver en genreoverskridende fortælling om »Mary Anne's Polar Rig ...and the sound of speed« – en rejse gennem tid og rum.
Kom og få et smugkig ind i fremtiden med et band, der tør tage chancer og skabe noget helt sit eget.

Jeffrey Lewis specialises in a unique and, quite frankly, brilliant form of indie rock that also picks the best elements from folk music. It’s no coincidence that his upcoming album is titled “The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis” (Bob Dylan fans get the reference!).
It all began with Jeffrey Lewis recording and releasing homemade cassette tapes om the streets of New York City. Naturally, fate would have it that his quirky and utterly charming songs would end up being released by a real record label.
Since then, Jeffrey Lewis has been releasing music non-stop—both official, “proper” albums and homemade, off-the-cuff recordings that are just as good as the official ones.
Alongside this, the project has evolved into a full-fledged live band. Jeffrey Lewis has shared the stage with heroes and inspirations like The Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston, Stephen Malkmus, Dinosaur Jr, The Fall, Roky Erickson, and The Vaselines.
And it’s exactly in that company that Jeffrey Lewis rightfully belongs. Are we overselling him, you ask? Not in the slightest! Jeffrey Lewis is one of a kind—criminally overlooked by the majority but deeply loved by the minority. And wouldn’t you agree you belong to the latter? Thought so, music connoisseur!
Now the American original is stopping by HUSET’s Xenon venue with his band. You can look forward to his imaginative storytelling and his unique relationship with his ramshackle guitar. By the way, he’s also known for incorporating his visual art and cartoons (yes, he does that too!) into his live performances.
So, there’s really nothing more to say. Click that buy button, and we’ll see you soon at HUSET!

Experience the Swedish band that blends punk, pop, and prog into an intense and experimental sonic adventure.
Mary Anne’s Polar Rig arrives with raw energy, edge, and razor-sharp melodies.
Rooted in Malmö’s DIY scene, the band has earned a reputation for being bold and curious since their debut Makes You Happy (2021). The guitar duo Malin Hofvander and Harald Ingvarsson form the core of the group, joined live by two additional musicians.
With their 2023 album Makes You Wonder, the band pushed their sound in new directions—more complex and heavy, yet still brimming with emotion and melodic sharpness. Their music balances between noisy and intricate, with songs that shift from chaotic bursts to epic, near-prog rock compositions.
Rumor has it that the band’s next project will be a genre-defying narrative titled Mary Anne’s Polar Rig ...and the sound of speed—a journey through time and space.
Come get a glimpse into the future with a band that dares to take risks and create something entirely its own.
