Spielmann - The Court Jester

Spielmann Joins Indie Tea Talk! Big Choruses, Sharp Lyrics & Pop With Bite!

Welcome to another standout episode of the Indie Tea Talk Podcast! This time, we’re sitting down with Spielmann — the solo project of Leeds-based artist, producer, and songwriter Ben Lewis.

From early sessions with Yard Act to producing for other artists and supporting Kaiser Chiefs, Ben’s seen the industry from all angles. Now, under the name Spielmann (taken from his grandmother’s maiden name), he’s stepping into the spotlight with a bold new EP, a dry wit, and a serious ear for big, emotional choruses.

What’s Inside This Episode?

🎤 Why Ben launched Spielmann and what the name really means to him

🧠 How he writes through a character without losing himself in the process

✍️ The sweet spot between emotional storytelling and pop precision

🎶 Musical influences from LCD Soundsystem to Springsteen

🏙️ How Leeds has shaped his sound and his identity

🏟️ Playing with Yard Act at the O2 Academy and the buzz of being back on stage

🎸 Two stripped-back live performances plus quick-fire questions on dad lyrics, misunderstood songs, and musical comfort food

Whether you’re into clever lyricism, pop that punches above its weight, or just want to hear from someone who’s lived every side of the industry — this one’s for you.
