Levitation Room’s floaty, cosmic songs are always a trip. Since forming nearly a decade ago, they’ve self-produced dizzying, otherworldly music that’s connected with fellow travelers in the hallucinogenic world of outré rock music. Led by singer and guitarist
Julian Porte along with founding members
Gabriel Fernandez (lead guitar) and
Johnathan Martin (percussion), the band has enchanted live audiences at Desert Daze and on tour with like-minded groups
Post Animal and
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. The band’s vivid sound has found them placed on popular playlists like Modern Psychedelia and the legendary superproducer’s
Danger Mouse Jukebox. Their 2015 debut, “Friends,” has surpassed 20 million streams.
Joined by new member
Kevin Perez (bass) in 2021, Levitation Room have continued to expand their colorful, unearthly sound, a process that has culminated with the upcoming vibrant new album
Strange Weather. Collaborating with former
Brian Jonestown Massacre keyboardist
Rob Campanella,
Jason Kick (Mild High Club), and
Black Crowes’ Joel Robinow, Levitation Room take a new step in their story and vision with this album. The record’s lyrical narratives—about love in the park, life in the city, and the fact that “The world today is such an illusion”—are appropriately steeped in ’60s sonics and a dreamy, lo-fi atmosphere. It’s spacey, celestial guitar music for escaping into, and “it feels just like heaven.” Join Levitation Room on their new voyage toward
Strange Weather on February 16, 2024.
