London-based Lewis Fieldhouse creates unapologetic alternative pop, with the raw touch of the American south-west. A story-teller at heart, Lewis has a lyrical eye for the absurd and sincere, offering up snippets of life coupling humour with honesty. His music evokes the lush sound of The Beach Boys and Father John Misty, with acoustic flair and undeniable hooks. In the past couple of years, Lewis’ work has caused a positive stir amongst music blogs like the The 405 and The Vinyl District, with It’s All Indie crowning him “one of the most exciting singer-songwriters in London at the moment.”
Originally from the north of England, Lewis arrived on the London circuit in 2013, by way of a number of “life affirming” road-trips in the US. Lewis is a self-professed ‘geography and Tolkien enthusiast’, with an impressive collection of colourful shirts. He describes his vibrant musical style as almost a rebellion against the darker, more hostile indie sounds he grew up with. In 2013 his debut single, The Water’s Fine, featured on the soundtrack to Emily Diana Ruth’s independent film of the same title. Glasswerk describe his first EP, Born Human, Raised Human, as Fieldhouse’s own “contemporary brand of infectious, sun-soaked acoustic alt-pop”. His tracks have spurred the attention of DJ’s at BBC London Introducing, Amazing Radio, as well as BBC2’s Janice Long. In 2015 Spreading the Seed called his latest single, Not Done Loving You “an acoustic pop masterpiece”, as Lewis continues to hone his combination of immediate hooks and flourishing guitar. Lewis is currently gigging in London and across the UK while working on his debut album. His next single, Goodbye, a nostalgic ode to summer love, will be aptly timed, hitting the airwaves in August 2015.
