Picture Credit: Lewca   Lewca - Geezer Pop Release Date: June 25, 2021 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 18:28 Genre: Disco / Indie Rock / Rap Origin: Paris , France Once again, a new release by Paris' restless genre bender Lewca . The artist describes his latest EP "Geezer Pop" with the words "Pretty random I guess...". And actually, the new release is quite different to the previous EPs with regards to content, mood, and style. But still, there is this unique Lewca-style in his rap vocals and his productions. Predominantly, one can say that after several rather cynical releases with somehow serious content, Lewca has now produced his Summer EP. Thus, "Geezer Pop" is mainly defined by light-footed bouyance and loungy atmosphere. "Geezer Pop" is the Lewca EP you can listen to at the pool, in the bar, or while getting drunk at home. Nevertheless, this release is predestined to turn every floor into a dancefloor - even if there is no...

Picture Credit: Lewca   Lewca - I'm alright (feat. Sean Buckley) Release Date: June 04, 2021 Length: 02:40 Genre: Post Punk / Indie Rock Origin: Paris , France French artist Lewca has had quite a vast output within the last months. Click here to read more MangoWave posts about the musician from Paris. After his recent EPs that were often coined by a somewhat dadaist or nihilist mix of genres, Lewca has recently collaborated with Sean Buckley  to produce the singles " Dodgems " and "I'm alright". Together they are mintball Let us have a closer look at the latter of those two sogs mentioned. On "I'm alright", mintball take on the serious issue of substance abuse and the denial that often comes as a side effect. Think of the friends or acquaintances who tell you they could quit any time, and therefore were not addicted at all. "I'm alright" begins like a typical Lewca single. A dynamic beat accompanied by a bassline builds the foun...

Picture Credit: Lewca   Lewca - Walking the Hedgehog Release Date: March 19, 2021 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 17:01 Genre: Indie Rock / Garage Rock Origin: Paris , France Some weeks ago, we listened to Lewca's debut EP "3 Kids and a Mortgage" . The sophomore release "Walking the Hedgehog" is, of course, much more recent, but it also is very different from the debut. But don't you worry, it still is a beautifully weird EP. The impact of Rap has mostly vanished, except for the song 'Fallen', and also the New Wave sound has mostly made way for an increase influence of Garage Rock and Rock'n'Roll, compared to "3 Kids and a Mortgage". "Walking the Hedgehog" should be imagined to be a live recording - or at least, Lewca's intention was to record a set of tracks that would make a great gig. Hence, the setlist is structured by the rules of a sweat-inducing concert. The EP is opened by the dynamic youth anthem ...

Picture Credit: Lewca Lewca - 3 Kids and a Mortgage Release Date: December 04, 2020 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 16:25 Genre: Indie Rock / Rap Origin: Paris , France Somewhere in Paris, probably in a room that keeps at least two souvenirs from Brixton, close to a can of beer and a glass of rum, most certainly in view of The Clash's "Combat Rock", Lewca has written the lyrics for his first EP "3 Kids and a Mortgage" - at least, it would make sense. Lewca is an Indie and Hip Hop artist from the French capital who is merging different styles of rock and rap music. One of the central features of "3 Kids and a Mortgage" though, is a strong influence by the sounds of the 1980s - 80s rock, 80s rap, 80s synthwave, 80s galore! "3 Kids and a Mortgage" is a hilarious album for rap and rock fans who do not take themselves too seriously. The musical style goes from (mocked) Gangster Rap over New Wave to boppy Indie Rock. Lewca is self-ironi...
