InfluencesThe fine and blurry line between reality and make-believe.
Sounds Likea smoky concoction of loops, dreamlike shoegaze and ethereal sanctity - SodaPop (Italy)

Levator’s music, comparable to Morphine, Sonic Youth and Mazzy Star, has an almost tranquilizing effect, with Lynn’s silvery voice sounding almost haunting at times. Working with a plethora of vintage effects pedals and creating live loops on the spot, the band meshes together seamlessly, and commands absolute attention in the most wonderful and unexpected way. - Synthesis

Seattle’s Levator are rocking so much Cocteau Twins in the tour van that they seem to have decoded Liz Fraser’s elfin ramblings and translated them into English. - San Diego City Beat

dreamy yet distorted... This album is just wondrous. - Collected Sounds (Sweden)

Levator's unique sound washed over the audience whose conversation was drowned in awe of the band's somber orchestrations. - SPINearth

Levator a much-buzzed Emerald City export that’s garnering heavier radio play and filling more and more iPods these days. - The Record Newspaper

It’s what a Pink Floyd record might have sounded like inside Hunter S. Thompson’s head whilst driving through Barstow, on the edge of the desert – but before he reaches bat country. - 209Vibe

Levator is drowsy drowned in distortion. From the historically promising musical breeding grounds of Seattle, the three-piece group has been dubbed as "dream core." Its meditative sound is led by a youthful, high-pitched and pleasant female voice, backed by a drone of synth effects and unhurried rock beats. Without exaggeration, the effect is numbing. The entrancing rhythm and ambient sound instills thoughts of reflection in the listener. - Oregon Daily Emerald

Give us a dozy Sunday afternoon to lounge about, licking all sorts of wounds, and we will find a way to conjure up some amazingly listenable music... this time from the Pacific Northwest. Sound like a deal? - Milk Milk Lemonade

Levator's music has the ability to alter the passage of time and penetrate all your dimly lit spaces. - Church of Girl Radio

But ultimately, at eight tracks and a succinct 44 minutes, this is an album with no excess fat, worth absorbing as a whole in order to luxuriate in its complete brilliance. - Luna Kafe (Australia)
