So you may have never heard of the artist Lewis Hill. Never seen him on any lineups or spotify. That is because he has never shared his music before and I was privileged enough for him to get in touch and share his music with me. Lewis is a quiet, mild mannered lovely lad from Headingley who loves Guided by Voices, The Replacements and Mission of Burma. He’s basically me apart from the Headingley bit.

I recruited Contact Buzz fan favourite, Rowan, to elevate the track with his adaptive drumming ability and we headed down to Eiger. We chose a song Lewis claimed to have ripped on the song ‘Goldheart Mountain Top Queen Directory’ (A song I've actually seen live). Short and simple, but a right earworm. I really love the snappy drum tone on this one, always getting a good tone from Rowan.

I also got to get my hands dirty, playing bass, with the chorus being a classic Jamie bassline, if you're familiar with those. Really lovely acoustic picking from Lewis, feels so quintessentially indie, like an REM riff. Vocals I could tell Lewis was nervous about, I love his tone, but I don’t think being a singer was on Lewis’ radar - so this could be a rare documentation of his vocal in years to come!

It’s stripped back, it's to the point and earnest, it's pure songwriting and I play it on repeat. Oh and I play the little echo-y lead parts - Lewis shouldn't have given me so much creative freedom, but I do love to collaborate!

If you enjoyed the song and wanted to start a project, do get in touch with Lewis - Mild-mannered people unite!

For fans of Guided by Voices, REM and Big Star
