Dewey Lester & The 6:03 - Summer '72 Dewey Lester & The 6:03

Here’s a love letter to music and life and taking the long way round. Dewey Lester & The 6:03 could probably only come from Glasgow where there’s always a new intersection to be made between Big Star and Aztec Camera and Dexys and Teenage Fanclub, whose erstwhile member, Gerard Love is all over this. So much has gone into it – the lyrics are well observed, personal – a soundtrack to walking around Glasgow in between tenements, under trees. Dewey Lester & The 6:03 play music with the vibrancy of a generation of pop lovers, whose every waking moment was somehow music-related. This is a Stuart Murdoch adjacent world of cafes and V-twin meet-ups. Dewey Lester & The 6.03 have called a meeting in great style pulling in their loves for Modernism, West Coast, Psychedellia, Freakbeat and the Glasgow Independent Music Miracle. This is such an easy record to like – as they say, “music for futures, past and present”. - Monorail
