Mark William Lewis is an artist that exists between the cracks. He eschews easy genre categorisation, plays with the traditional conventions of a songwriter, and creates music that is poetically sharp, visually vivid, yet texturally opaque. Writing songs that explore the intersection between intimacy and alienation, connection and disconnection, he is a singular and bold voice operating in a distinctly unique yet blurry space.

His recent track ‘Tomorrow is Perfect’ is the first release via A24 Music, a song that feels like the purest embodiment of him as a complete artist to date, blurring the boundaries of imagery, music and words pushed to the forefront.

Lewis has received praise from Pitchfork and The Fader for his previous releases Sparkles 22-24 and Living, as well as featuring on NYC rap figurehead MIKE’s “Let’s Have A Ball” and collaborating with Bar Italia’s Nina Crisante on the song “Thinner”.

Over the past few years, Lewis has become a fixture in more innovative spaces of London’s live music scene, with his performances and music becoming a word-of-mouth success. This led to sold out US debut shows at Elsewhere and Public Records (NYC) and The Echo (LA) last year and a full headline show at a sold-out ICA earlier this year. He has previously
released music via Scenic Route, with the vinyl release of joint EP ‘God Complex/Pleasure Is Everything’ selling out in under 24 hours.
