It's surely only a matter of time before New York residents Lewis Del Mar ink a major label deal. Their first two singles 'Loud(y)' and 'Memories' blew away the field on Hype Machine, rocketing to the number one spot with consummate ease. While many new bands might rest on the laurels and await the paperwork, Lewis Del Mar aren't taking their feet off the pedal just yet. 'Wave(s)' completes the perfect hattrick in our eyes - a more pared back number than we've come to expect, it leans on the spidery acoustic guitars of 'Loud(y)', combining those with filtered electronics and a vocal with a tender bluesy quality to it. CMJ looms, and the duo will be arguably the hottest new property out there. Deservedly so. - DC
