What starts with unassuming guitars and vocals adds new lines, depths, and intensity, until its unrestrained, triumphant finish. “God is peeking, softly speaking,” repeats the chorus, working through the relationship between spirituality and creative inspiration, and introducing a band that is always pushing further. LVL UP – guitarists Mike Caridi and Dave Benton, bassist Nick Corbo, and drummer Greg Rutkin – is a true collaboration, a band that takes the stylistically distinct ideas of four members and brings them togeth- er into something new. Caridi, Benton, and Corbo write and sing equally, bringing their work to the group to be fully realized, resulting in an album built on different perspectives but a common drive. “We have very different inspirations across the board,” says Benton, noting his own admiration for the writer and documentarian Astra Taylor, Corbo’s interest in the mystical and the occult, and Caridi’s attention to personal storytelling. The music itself grows from a shared melodic and experimental sensibility, as well as a nod to iconic influences like Neutral Milk Hotel and Mount Eerie. LVL UP was formed in 2011 at SUNY Purchase as a recording project between Caridi, Benton, and their friend Ben Smith, with the original intention of releasing a split cassette with Corbo’s then-solo material. They instead released that album, Space Brothers, as one band, and Rutkin joined shortly afterwards for the group’s first show. Smith left the band for personal reasons just before the release of second album Hoodwink’d, a joint release on Caridi and Benton’s label Double Double Whammy and Exploding in Sound. DDW also put out records from other artists in the tight-knit community that launched the band. Also part of that university community was Return to Love’s producer Mike Ditrio, who mixed LVL UP’s previous records and “was basically a fifth member of the band,” says Corbo. “He played a huge role in developing the sound, without butting in too much. He also navigated our personal dynamic really nicely.” Artist LVL UP Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Sub Pop Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Hidden Driver Blur She Sustains Us Spirit Was Pain Play The Closing Door Five Men on the Ridge Cut from the Vine I Naked in the River with the Creator Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from LVL UP and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View LVL UP Return to Love (Loser Edition) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 20th September 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders LVL UP Return to Love (Loser Edition) £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1166X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Minus The Bear Highly Refined Pirates Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Suicide Squeeze | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th January 2024 £24.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Minus The Bear Highly Refined Pirates £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Suicide Squeeze SKU: SSQ021LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th January 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Iggy & The Stooges Metallic K.O.
