Diandra Reviews It All

Is it weird to say, “Lewis Del Mar is so Millennial Brooklyn”. Playing a hometown gig, the duo embodied everything of recent relevance to Williamsburg in art and music scene; a blend of live instrumentals with digitized-synth vibes, sporadic influxes of artful images and symbols, and a youthful aura of humility, intellect, and fun. Brooklyn has always been and will always be a cultural staple measuring the rising, defining tides of art, and Lewis Del Mar is the next wave.
Lewis Del Mar – Loud(y)

Playing at Music Hall Of Williamsburg, the duo could not help but marvel at what full-circle moment they were living, especially for such a short time. As lead singer/ guitarist Danny Miller exclaimed, “A year ago we had two songs that nobody knew the words two and played a concert here without any idea of what we were doing”, and now they were at their own sold out concert celebrating their self-titled debut as signed by Columbia Records. To Danny, gratitude might as well have been an added chord to his guitar because he was constantly strumming his gratefulness and awe. It is truly unbelievable the heights they have achieved within a year from formation. Katy Perry was nearly a decade playing folk songs before she landed on “I Kissed A Girl” and massive success, while Lana Del Rey had to revamp her initial image as Lizzie Grant into one of a Spanish named, eternally 1960’s pop icon. From time to change, Lewis Del Mar has booked it into growing fame and acclaim by being themselves, which is truly talented. Miller is an amazing performer with a vocal range he rasps and smooths like an emotional, oil painting. For each song, he closed his eyes and fell into their music like a mystical leap of faith. As he utters every lyric with the physicality/ spirituality of a Def Jam poet; his words give him life while they give the audience art. Meanwhile, drummer/ produce Max Harwood has to be accredited for arranging songs that sound so musically relevant. “Islands”, “Malt Liquor” , and “Loud(y)” are so now, in word and sound, they should be put into a time capsule.
Lewis Del Mar – Painting (Masterpiece)

As the most random images, from strange to beautiful, splashed above them, Lewis Del Mar appeared like an embodiment of the Brooklyn scene: both spontaneous and riveting. Meanwhile, the crowd danced and cheered like we were in Governor’s Ball rather than MHOW, of which I was enthralled by how magnificent their show is for being their FIRST TOUR. Please remember that it has taken these men 1 year to do all they are doing, which might be why they looked at the crowd in awe; like we were still a hallucination of their future rather than their current present. The duo bantered about their rise and new “daily” as touring, signed musicians, but they did so with a warm, inviting nature that made you feel apart of their rising success and shock that “this” was their life. In essence, this is a CONCERT TO SEE. It is fun futuristic pop mashed with experimental rock and mushed together with lights and visuals that could turn any hall into a “Lewis Del Mar” world; one I wish to live in and will after buying their album. Yes, the ultimate testament to a really good show is when you go and buy the merch. So you know I’m serious, and you should be too about seeing their tour by Clicking Here. P.S. They perform THE BEST COVER OF KANYE WEST’S RUNAWAY EVER!
