The Return To Form Black Magic
Inertia Recordings
INDIE
Get ready for a pysch-glam-pop blow out!
Combine the spirits of BOLAN, DYLAN, SYD BARRETT, JACK WHITE and PRINCE ... and you get POP LEVI!
One of biggest & most unanimous buzz acts of the coming year amongst international music media is the debut album from Pop Levi, 'The Return To Form Black Magick Party'. And when you hear it you will be hard pressed to name a catchier record released this year!
Pop Levi is a founding member or NINJA TUNE Krautrock pounders SUPER NUMERI and was a member of electro poppers LADYTRON, but Pop wanted to take his own project somewhere else. His first single "Blue Honey" caused a bit of a stir nationally - his album is gonna start an earthquake!
Although the most obvious precursor of the sound on 'Black Magick' might be Mark Bolan, listen carefully and you'll hear touches of everyone from Jack White, BECK, Prince and HENDRIX to Dylan, LENNON and BEEFHEART in there. But rather than being any kind of eyebrow-raised pastiche, this is what Pop describes as "channelling" - an album of such complete conviction, flair and energy (plus a truckload of hooks) that it is utterly irresistible, a stack heel pushed right down on the accelerator. He calls it "Astral Pop". You'll call it "incredible"
THE AMAZING LOCAL PRESS HAS STARTED TO STREAM IN!
