LVL UP - Return To Love (September 23, 2016) Album • Page 4

ya'll gotta get hip at the very least to the last one

 

Surprised this thread isn't bigger, this record is sick

 

i think that speaks to what a whirlwind the last month has been for new music. i'm looking forward to hopefully a quiet end of year to weed everything out.

 

Also think people on this site are sleeping on this band

 

we gotta get people on this! its like a perfect fall album, all the way down to the album art ha. i dont even know what my favorite song on here is, its just all so great. ive only listened to it twice, but "Five Men on the Ridge" is huge, and the closer is incredible. I also love "Hidden Driver". i think that tracks influences are obvious enough i dont even need to say it, yet it is so original and its own thing.

 

@715creeks Brotha, you gotta get on this album.

 

well yeah, was surprised that even at first this band didn't pull so well because they are pretty embedded in DIY culture even before sub pop signed them

 

its always boggled my mind how they dont have more listeners. they came to slc in october 2014 w/ mitski and literally 0 people showed.

 

well that show would draw a million people now, haha

 

Downloading on Apple Music right now. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

post your thoughts after!!

 

this has some of the best guitar tones of the year, along with the ceg and the okkervil album

 

i was going to post my fav song from hoodwink'd but realized i couldn't pick just one lol
if i had to it'd be probably

 

Okay I absolutely adore this album. If this doesn't make my top 5 then I don't know

 

That's the right stuff

 

This is one of those albums where I always want to listen to it from start to finish. I still can't pick an absolute favorite track, just can't stop listening.

 

How 3 wildly different perspectives became LVL UP’s newest album

cool article

 

definitely cool. helps to suss out who sings what a bit more. definitely think i prefer nick's songs

 

TONIGHT. Can't wait, their last couple setlists they've played all of this record

 

very jealous

 

Finally gotten around to this. Pain is a beast huh?

 

HMmm. Incredibly underwhelming set. They played for a half hour, and after a version of "I" went very poorly, they told us not to clap, abruptly said "we have two more" then did two Microsongs from Hoodwinked then walked off without an encore. Everybody but the drummer looked visibly unhappy by the end. Wonder what happened. What they played sounded good at least.

They mentioned it was their first night of tour too which is wprrying

 

decided my favorites on this are hidden driver (most reminiscent of the last record), spirit was (maybe my favorite song of theirs at this point), and cut from the vine
good record, still growing on me

 

"Five Men on a Ridge" and "Naked in the River With the Creator" are both huuuuuuuuuuuge
Hidden Driver is the perfect opener. i love this album.

 

yeah, five men, naked and she sustains us are my faves
