Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage’s Bad Wiring, first released in 2019 and long unavailable, returns via Blang Records for UK and European listeners. Recorded in Nashville with producer Roger Moutenot (Lou Reed, Yo La Tengo, Sleater-Kinny), it captures Lewis at his most direct: raw, lo-fi garage-punk offset by reflective acoustic moments. His unmistakable writing shifts between the poignant and the absurd, often within a single song. ‘My Girlfriend Doesn’t Worry’ pairs everyday neurosis with existential unease, while ‘LPs’ and ‘Exactly What Nobody Wanted’ turn a wry eye toward record shop culture and overlooked artists. Praised on release as a high point in his catalogue, Bad Wiring remains a concise, funny and quietly cutting statement from one of indie rock’s most singular voices.
