Crayola Lectern

Crayola Lectern is the delightfully offbeat musical project of Chris Anderson, a Lincolnshire-based artist known for crafting lo-fi indie pop with a sprinkle of psychedelic whimsy. Merging DIY charm with lyrical wit, Anderson’s work—recorded mostly at home—twists everyday observations into surreal, melody-driven narratives. Recent releases like *Disasternoon* and *The Fall and Rise of…* showcase his knack for pairing jangly guitars with introspective musings, while *Crayoloto: Live at Cafe Oto* captures his playful experimental edge in a raw, intimate setting.

A stalwart of the UK’s underground scene, Anderson’s music often nods to his rural surroundings (see *Stars Over Louth*’s wistful regional vibes) and a knack for turning life’s minor dramas into sticky hooks. Whether spinning tales of existential doubt on *Gaslighters Blues* or leaning into bittersweet pop on *Happy Endings*, Crayola Lectern remains a cult favorite for fans of music that’s equal parts clever, cozy, and quietly eccentric.
