Erratic, jaunty pop always will always have a place here at Walrus Towers, and when the whole sound is created by one man, in this case Jack Shepherd, a.k.a. Lion the Weak, then it is all the more impressive.

It was Tiffany from the ever wonderful Drunken Werewolf that pointed me in his direction, but the demos have been on pretty heavy rotation since then and badly needing sharing with the world.

Shepherd may grab a few friends to help him avoid the loneliness of solo live performances, but whether heard live or just the songs originally recorded in his bedroom it is the variation of styles and influences that stand out. Take Me Away is full of danceable rhythms and jaunty grooves, whilst Marble is an upbeat lullaby, and Take It All is full of the swagger for the start of a night.

And as a bit of an early Xmas present – all the demos are available to download for the next week. Happy downloading!
