Leeds-based musician Lewis Jack Inman returns with his 4th Album The Squeeze, released on 15th May.
Once again, Inman’s latest offering is another alt rock record perfect for fans of Courtney Barnett, Pixies and Queens of the Stone Age. True to his own style, it’s a record that doesn’t conform to predictable patterns – Inman takes you on a journey that makes complex themes and music seem simple, with the guidance of his soothing vocals, a key trait in his solo work since 2019.
Since going solo in 2019, he’s released 3 albums (Another Winter, Far Away and Fly) as well as numerous singles throughout that time. Lewis returned to the live scene in 2025 with a new live band formed with two of the local scene’s hardest working musicians: Sam Green and Dan James. They quickly took the scene by storm with appearances at Lending Room and Hyde Park Book Club in the space of a few months.
In late 2025, Lewis released the Fossilz Collection, a mix of his previous band’s work containing material that still exists in his shows today, plus recordings from live shows recorded in Leeds.
All of Lewis’ previous releases have been sole recorded with him playing all instruments. Whilst The Squeeze is no different in that respect, it’s the first release he’s self-produced, making it an entirely DIY record with no external contributions, showcasing just how versatile an artist he is.
“Lewis writes beautiful, wonderful, sometimes quirky but always raw emotionally songs both lyrically and musically. You just can’t help but be drawn into his music. To say that he wears his heart on his sleeve would be something of an understatement; and that is to be admired, to be amazed at. I can’t recommend this highly enough.” – Local Sound Focus
