Mark William Lewis

Mark William Lewis is a singer-songwriter with a quiet demeanor and a contemplative tone who brings an almost hypnotic flow into his distinct mixture of folk and indie. His deliberate baritone delivery and the pacing of his songs (perhaps even his use of harmonica) may be reminiscent of Matt Johnson's work as The The in the '90s. The other thread one can pull from his sound is Vini Reilly's guitar work with The Durutti Column, specifically in terms of his arpeggio and ringing reverb effect. His songs tend to be somber affairs that typically (though not always) move at a slower pace and often convey a cinematic sense to the audience.
