The fine and blurry line between reality and make-believe.
Sounds Like
a 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)
Hi Sky! It was good to see you too! The stone is Opalite. It helps to enhance spirtitual and psychic energy, but more importantly helps w' healing in the process of transitions. Let's hang soon. Sake? 7777777
