Return of self-confidence, stimulation of the intellect, antidepressant effect… For some psychologists the benefits of gardening no longer need to be proven. And it is not Lewis Evans who will say the opposite. In the spring of 2021, then intern at the Granville green spaces departmentmelodies come to mind like revelations.
Amazing for this artist who had sold his guitars, archived his memories front man of the Lanskies and forgotten his solo years marked by great collaborations (Juliette Armanet, Kerenn Ann, Herman Dune, Gaëtan Roussel…). Living from his art was then too difficult.
From this experience is born “L’Ascension” and above all a desire to re-climb the slope but without doing the same thing over again.
As usual, Lewis Evans builds his intimate songs. Fred Buchet, faithful arranger since 2016, has once again come to marry mandolins and acoustic guitars. But this time, Lewis enriches his compositions with bold textures. Brass bands pay homage to brass bands in the north of England who marked this child of Liverpool.
