New Levek 7" Available November 16

It is hard to put into words an accurate critique of music from an artist that shuns any singular genre. Such are the first moments spent listening to part time artist/full time busdriver Levek. The brainchild of Orlando, FL David Levesque is nevertheless an intriguing code of influence ready to decipher. Is it channeling Philadelphia Soul? Folksy chamber-pop? Southern Gospel? Nouveau Afro-beat? All of these labels apply and yet are much too limiting. Even Levesque himself spun his own description concerning his music: "Mickey Mouse Tribal Sounds". To that answer I say, sure, why not? Levek has a 7" coming out on Father/Daughter November 16. After the first dozen listens or so, that purchase a turntable you have been putting off seems all the more reasonable now, doesn't it?

"Look On The Bright Side" starts like a lost studio outtake from Curtis Mayfield, making you wonder if you heard this before. Yet, the sexy, moving vocals step in and the song truly takes shape. It is when single violin is cued that "Look On The Bright Side" becomes so much more than the sum of its parts. It is this kind of promise that makes you feel that you were chosen for a VIP spot on Levek's bandwagon. There may not be much room in the near future, so don't go anywhere.
