Pop Levi

Medicine

    Pop Levi has celebrity supporters as diverse as Jarvis Cocker, Lauren Laverne, Noel Gallagher, Tame Impala and Kasabian, who he was asked to support at Somerset House in London.

    Named by NME as “a true cult hero”, and a “genuine maverick” by Q.

    Pop Levi has released two albums through Ninja Tune with Super Numeri, played bass with Ladytron and released solo albums through Counter records. Levi released his debut solo album on Counter Records, ‘The Return To Form Black Magick Party’, which he toured all over the world. Levi is also a talented director and has shot videos for a Vans x Stussy collaboration.

    Recorded in three purpose-built private home studios (in Norway, Greece and Los Angeles), ‘Medicine’ rubs Pop’s obsession with Prince up against his love of Bolan, throws in a little Paul McCartney, some early Stooges, a chunk of Lindsey Buckingham and even a dash of Peter Gabriel, for a record which channels bubblegum pop through Satanic ritual and classic rock for one of the oddest, funniest, most compellingly unique records you’re likely to hear in 2012.

    “Trippy, sexy, wickedly produced, deeply psychedelic glam rock” - Mixmag

    “Beguiling and bizarre in equal measure… there is depth beyond the Willy Wonka weirdness” - The Guardian

    Never Never Love

      Probably the only contemporary musician in the world beloved of both Jarvis Cocker and Noel Gallagher, ex-Ladytron bassist Pop Levi was never likely to come back with the same record all over again and 'Never Never Love' doesn't disappoint. Recorded entirely in Hollywood at Quincy Jones' old studio, Westlake, where both "Thriller" and "Off The Wall" were laid down, Mr Levi has returned with an album about the madness of love - 100% autobiographical, 100% clever, 100% dumb, 100% unique. And that's giving 400% already. From transitional rockers like "Wannamama" and "Oh God", Pop spreads his wings, relying on a production flare, which makes the record feel fresh and slick as well as charmingly lo-fi. "Never Never Love" shows that while he hasn't abandoned the dynamics of the rock group he has also been steeping himself in contemporary R&B. Central track "Dita Dimone" re-tells of his break-up with the song's eponymous heroine with all the low-slung swing sass of a future-classic. From here on in the album takes off in all kinds of weird and wonderful directions – from the crazed danger pop of "Mai's Space" to the heartfelt longing of "Semi-Babe", the wonky dub of "Call The Operator" to the final comedown of "Fountain Of Lies".
