Archer Prewitt – O, Lord

Biography
Prewitt’s guitar work is integral to the sound of his other band, The Sea and Cake, as it is for his solo work. However, here on his own, Prewitt manages to find an entirely different tone and timbre. Compared to his previous releases, the songs on Wilderness are primarily spare with more focused and refined arrangements.
The nymph-like siren gazing from the cover of “Wilderness” is a pencil drawing by Archer. He describes her as being an incorruptible innocent; an omniscient “child of nature”. This fantastical female ties in with the idea present in many of his lyrics ? championing love above all else, even in life’s darkest time.
Prewitt’s art does not end there; in fact, he is quite an accomplished visual artist. The third issue of his Sof Boy comic was released in July by Drawn & Quarterly. The character has been licensed in Japan by Press Pop Gallery where they make Sof Boy dolls, rings, carry-bags and other assorted collector’s items. In addition to his comic work, Archer is a regular illustrator for the Chicago Reader and various periodicals. He has been included in the most recent McSweeney’s comic collection, edited by Chris Ware, and is part of the traveling comics show, “Raw, Boiled and Cooked”. Prewitt has had two gallery exhibitions of his original drawings and prints in the last year, and has a two-man show opening in Chicago this November with poster artist Jay Ryan.

Contained, mellow and laid back music, then the strings go all crazy, like in 'Cheap Rhyme' , unabashed falsetto's and some trumpets too. Archer Prewitt knows how to let it go.

Archer Prewitt me encanta, algunas de sus canciones son tan buenas que cuando las escuchas parece que las conocieras de toda la vida, suenan a clásicos sin embargo no es un artista muy conocido.

Inventive pop at its best. It takes about a dozen listens to really remember all the twists he can throw. A good artist has interesting twists, but a great artist makes them seem natural, like they were the only way to continue in their vision. That's what I think Archer Prewitt does.

I like Archer Prewitt better, but I don't really think the two are comparable. Much different sound.
