Levitation Review: Wooden Shjips, Acid Mothers Temple, ST 37, Yoo Doo Right

Repetition is an important component of psychedelia, from adaptations of the German motorik beat to one-chord drones and endless boogie. The final night of Levitation 2018 at Empire Control Room brought a little from columns A, B, and C from an five-hour international showing.

Levitation Review: Escape-ism

“You know what would be really psychedelic?” offered D.C. mainstay Ian Svenonius late Sunday night inside Beerland. “If you could get away from advertising, real estate development. That would be trippy. If you could get away from condominiums, live-in work spaces. If you could get away from real estate speculation. That would be mind altering.”

Levitation Review: Black Angels, Brian Jonestown Massacre

The Black Angels are psychedelic enough to put you in a trance, actual psychedelics not necessary.

Levitation Review: Waxahatchee, Hurray for Riff Raff, Bedouine

Waxahatchee, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and Bedouine played it straight Sunday night. No skuzzy guitar licks, shoegaze distortion, or muddied wall-of-sounds to be found at Mohawk. In its place, a sonically-diverse bill of artists each intensely moving in a singular way.

Live Music Recommendations for the Week

If you're not too hungover from a weekend of psychedelic rocking at Levitation, check out grunge godfathers Melvins on Monday and continue with some indie and electro-folk throughout the week. So much jamming, so little time.

Levitation Review: Ministry

Ever hear of the Ship of Theseus? It’s the thought experiment that asks if you have a boat, and you replace the oars and the planks and the sails, is it really the same boat? That’s Ministry in 2018.

Levitation Review: Slowdive, Survive, Mien

The finest shoegaze usually overpowers the audience, inundating it with a monumental sonic wash of guitar. Slowdive is no typical dream-pop outfit. The Reading quintet prefers to entice rather than overwhelm, letting lush harmonies, ringing guitars, and a predilection for pop hooks dominate.

Levitation Review: Om, True Widow, Dallas Acid

Minimal drone and ambient pools of sound washed over Mohawk on Saturday night as Sleep offshoot Om topped a bill built on a pair of Texans, Dallas’ True Widow, and Austin’s Dallas Acid. Meet Levitation’s Urban Edition, the concrete sibling of the previously grassy hillside and blankets festival.

Levitation Review: The Make-Up

Sixties NYC rock primitives the Fugs had a manifesto-as-song, “Frenzy.” The Make-Up don’t cover it, although they probably should. They don’t need to. They live it.
