Album: Lewis Del Mar

Artist: Lewis Del Mar

Released: October 7

With a year so jam-packed with new releases, Rockaway Beach duo Lewis Del Mar have held their head above water with their eponymous debut album. Lewis Del Mar set out and deliver an album of complete brilliance and originality, with the combination of drum licks and light percussion pieces from Max Harwood, and guitar riffs and rough vocals throughout being produced by Danny Miller, this album is one that waves the flag for folk rock loud and proud. The sound is set out on this LP is one that really is a breath of much needed fresh air, with tracks like Painting (Masterpiece), and Loud(y) paving the way for the new wave of indie rock.
