Cristal Medium Blue is Lewis’ most defined project to date. A far cry from his synth-heavy debut full-length Sonic Poems (2022), Lewis’ sophomore LP is made up of a series of pivotal personal experiences and a whirlwind worldwide sojourn, accumulating into a project which pushes alternative pop and indie forward.

He finds a sweet spot where live acoustic and electric guitars co-mingle with breezy vocals and heaven-sent samples. This summer, he dropped the first single off the album ‘Highway’ ft. Empress Of and followed it up with the melancholic ‘Frisco Blues’ last month.

The album also features Alaska Reid, Gabriela Richardson, and longtime friend and collaborator Sofie Royer.

Lewis on Cristal Medium Blue — "Once I had the name [Cristal Medium Blue], I realized the new sound was a contemplative and abstract, yet precise vision. I wanted to express a theme, which wasn’t necessarily the case with Sonic Poems. That was a compilation of tracks from three years ago. Cristal Medium Blue is very defined.”
