From the bittersweet life story of "Back When I Was 4" to the acoustic thrash of "No LSD Tonight," Lewis traffics in epic streams of consciousness that are sad, hilarious, touching, and disturbing. On this, his sophomore full-length, Lewis broadens his sound, adding odd moments of viola and found recordings to his usual fingerpicking; but one listen to a track like "Don't Let the Record Company Take You Out to Lunch" proves that Lewis' music is as sparklingly lo-fi and homey as ever.

The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane and Other Favorites isn't a great departure from New York's the Moldy Peaches -- Jeffrey Lewis had once provided illustrations for the band -- but it does thrive on its own range of isolated humor and touchingly lonely autobiographical observation.
