Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders takes the freaked improvisation of Alexanders long-running instrumental band - DWLVS / Dire Wolves - into the world of song. Heady songwriting, ethereal jazz and krauty blues stomps are all featured. The Lidders include members of Elkhorn and Bardo Pond and are currently based in Philadelphia PA. Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders is a refreshing take on familiar sounds. There are clear references to the hazy, glazey Crazy Horse days of Neil Young, as well as nods to the stylings of bands like the Meat Puppets and Dinosaur Jr. Alexanders penchant for heady songwriting is pervasive yet subtle, a welcome shift that creates the kind of space necessary for the instrumentation to take focus and seep deep into the brain. - Mike Mannix, Psych Out!
