Landells Road – Chris Lewington

Chris Lewington is a singer/songwriter based in South London.

The brand new album from Chris Lewington is entitled ‘Landells Road’ and was named after the studio it was recorded in.

In his own words Chris says “Landells Road. Not exactly studio 2. Not even a Zebra crossing. A bedroom and a laptop. I recorded it entirely using Apple Logic in a typical 2 up 2 down house in a street somewhere in South London. Sounds like a whole band and an orchestra walked into a London semi and came out with something that sounds like a band and an orchestra. A bit like another band that named their album after the studio it was recorded in”.

Chris Lewington is influenced by classic acts like The Beatles, Paul Simon, Scott Walker, Bruce Springsteen, Ennio Morricone, John Barry, Lal Waterson, Arthur Lee, Jim Webb, Barry Gray, Francois Hardy, First Aid Kit, Daisy House, Calexico, Fleet Foxes, Warpaint, Prince, Smoke Faeries, Bill Drake, Judee Sill, Emiliana Torrini, Estrella Morente, Natasha Atlas, Steven Wilson, Gene Clark and The Unthanks.

In his own words Chris describes his music as “it’s classic rock and pop with a bit of a folky influence but fresh with little bits of silver surfer rock”

Chris Lewington previously played in ‘The Bicycle Thieves’ who released the singles “Waterfront” and “Ghostdance” and worked with Tony Visconti. 

Chris Lewington also played in ‘The Silence’ who released the singles ‘A Car in Denmark’ and ‘The Hangmans Beautiful Daughter’ which can be found on the compilation album ‘A Splash of Colour’ as well as playing with the ‘Famous Blue Raincoats’ a folky style ensemble.
