THE REVIEW
Albums of 2016: Part 12
We are heading to New York and diving into a Lo-Fi world, not too far from Krill, Pinegrove, or Ovlov, to name a few. The LVL UP manage to channel Built to Spill and Neutral Milk Hotel, Pavement and Microphones, with a certain guitar explosion reminiscent of the eponymous debut album by The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart; twenty years of American low fidelity packed into one album. All the songs have their own reason for being, but I would like to mention Five Men On The Ridge and its relentless riff, among the best songs of the year in my way as a listener, with all due respect to "certain American music" that has been pompously around for too long now, honestly, which no longer has to do with the world of music, but is strictly in touch with the world of money; certain small realities that, thanks to nostalgia, can still provide some feels. Repetitive? Maybe. Anachronistic? Yes. Fresh? Certainly.
