    Levitation presents Angel Olsen, Devendra Banhart, Vagabon

    Announcing a Halloween show, Angel Olsen tweeted: “Dress up as me, it scares the shit out of me every time.”: The North Carolina singer remembers four girls screaming along from the front row during her last domestic tour. They wore matching silver metallic wigs, a popular Olsen dupe from her “Shut Up Kiss Me” video off 2016’s My Woman.: “I mean, talk about self-reflection – it’s right there in front of me,” she adds, laughing. “Eventually, I had to kneel down and try to nicely say, ‘Can you stop yelling, while wearing an outfit that looks like me?’ Sometimes people are so extreme it’s scary.”: New album All Mirrors deals with self-perception in stunning, layered orchestral arrangements more grandiose than any prior Olsen work. Weeks after its release, she now experiences it refracted through listener expectation. A friend recently heard the LP played in full at a fancy eatery.: “I’m like, ‘Do they know that it gets loud?’” says Olsen. “I don’t feel like [All Mirrors] is an experience to just throw on and zone out. I’m fine with that, but I don’t know if my fans are.”: Alongside the epic video for six-minute “Lark,” smoky black-and-white imagery accompanies the new collection’s title track. Olsen cites director Alejandro Jodorowsky’s surreal symbolism and vintage Hollywood’s glamorous take on sci-fi as inspiration. Suggesting an appropriate concert costume for this album cycle, the singer says her regal headpiece in the Ashley Connor-directed video has low-budget origins.: “All you have to do it get some zip ties,” she says. “Maybe I’ll post a tutorial on how to make your own Angel Olsen crown at home.”

      Levitation presents Kikagaku Moyo, Stonefield, Minami Deutsch [stage one]; Holy Wave, JJUUJJUU, Hoover iii [stage two]

      Kraut throb and bashful vocals from Japan-based Minami Deutsch bumps up against the stoner prog of Australian sister quartet Stonefield and their new astral acreage in hard rock inside at Barracuda. Then, Kikagaku Moyo, Tokyo buskers turned psych focus group, adapt to space after a soft catapult into their “Fluffy Kosmisch.” On the outdoor stage celestial Austin psych rockers Holy Wave specialize in sun-dewed dystopian curveballs. Loosey-goosey L.A. loop-n-drum duo Jjuujjuu lob and screw vintage acid runoff into time crimes. Psych plungers Hoover iii crunch dinner music Skynyrd into Goner Records-esque space garage.

      Levitation presents Kay Odyssey, Camp Howard, Julia Lucille

      Four female psych fiends from Austin ride six-string lightning in Kay Odyssey. Repping indie vets ¿Qué Pasa?, Dikes of Holland, and No Mas Bodas, the group pushes forward on upcoming third LP KnockOut! Contrast that to the four dudes in Richmond, Va., bilingual rockers Camp Howard, whose half rock en Español on last month’s sophomore LP Cañón is sure to turn heads in Texas. Ascending ATX song whisperer Julia Lucille begins.

      Levitation presents Pink Mountaintops, Ryley Walker

      Where goes Black Mountain follows Pink Mountaintops. Canadian Aussie turned Angeleno Stephen McBean fronts both, but while the new Destroyer from the former explores synth gaze, the latter’s transportive Get Back from 2014 employed Bowiesque PiL popping in its punky, Seventies dream rock. That pairs with the increasingly avant-garde guitar explorations of formerly UK pastoral Chicagoan Ryley Walker. Congolese local Christelle Bofale opens with six-string Afro-pop.

      Levitation presents Jonathan Bree, Troller, SRSQ, Hey Jellie [stage one]; TR/ST, Black Marble, Automatic [stage two]

      Dark, brooding, percussive: This lineup in the Empire's Garage leans toward dance floors. Five years since Joyland, Toronto’s Tr/st went industrial on The Destroyer behind Robert Alfons still brooding about synth-pop. Brooklyn’s Black Marble recalls a Cure-like romanticism with third LP Bigger Than Life, while L.A. trio Automatic buzzes through pounding basslines and minimalist New Wave on Signal. Inside at Empire the founder of Nineties pop act the Brunettes, New Zealander Jonathan Bree finds solo resurgence on third studio LP Sleepwalking as his nasal baritone traverses lush chamber orchestrations. Onetime local L.A. trio Troller navigates extraterrestrial feedback with reverb and astral structures. Redolent of the Cocteau Twins, Oakland’s SRSQ (Kennedy Ashlyn) croons ethereal, 4AD goth-pop on survivor manifesto Unreality.

      Levitation presents High on Fire, Power Trip, Devil Master, Creeping Death [outside]

      In the Left Coast trio’s first tour for October 2018 gas huffer Electric Messiah, which won a Grammy in February, High on Fire stokes support from this state’s most influential metal act since Pantera, Power Trip, their little brothers of a sort in Denton’s Creeping Death, and Philly occultists Devil Master. Better still, 23 riots between Nov. 7 and Dec. 7 for the quadruple stacking begin by helping inaugurate Austin’s final 2019 music festival, Levitation. Before that, Creeping Death spewed molten OSDM in support of Exodus and Inter Arma. “It’s been a great learning experience hitting the road with so many veterans,” writes founding guitarist Trey Pemberton. “The whole time we’re soaking everything in, so we’ll apply the wealth of knowledge gained from August until December.” Already, full-length September debut Wretched Illusions on eOne manages some Exorcist-grade head turning. Plowing deeper, cruder, more inevitable than back-from-the-dead Demo 2015, tar pit EP Sacrament of Death (2016), and official death certificate Specter of War (2018), the group’s first album takes Power Trip’s thrashcore to its inevitable conclusion: Lone Star dominance. Global influences include Blood Red Throne (Norway), Gorguts (Canada), Grave (Sweden), Sepultura (Brazil), and Bolt Thrower (UK). “Our influences have largely stayed the same over the years, but the way we write music has changed pretty drastically,” offers Pemberton. “The 2015 demo was written almost exclusively by our drummer at the time and I. From then on, each release has seen more group input than the previous. We wrote almost all of Wretched Illusions in the presence of one another, and that really elevated the album. “Team work makes the dream work, you feel me?”
