Press Release :
Welcome back. You've been out in the wilderness -
wandering, lost, confused. Now it's time to come
home. Pop Levi - genuine maverick - has returned
with a new album, the avant-pop masterpiece "Never
Never Love".
"A true cult hero" (NME), probably the only
contemporary musician in the world beloved of both
Jarvis Cocker and Noel Gallagher, ex-Ladytron
bassist Pop 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 & 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 hi-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 hereon 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".s
Flamboyant, utterly self-confident, completely his
own man and so uninterested in the back and forth
of fashion that everything he makes is an instant
classic, Pop Levi is in the building. Bow down and
give thanks-
Buy me if you love me :)
