Daily Music - The Austin Chronicle

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.

Levitation Review: La Luz, Omni

Levitation’s sweltering, sold-out Saturday afternoon at Barracuda didn’t know what it wanted to be. Ping-ponging between both genre and stages – garage rock, psych-prog, and bat-shit freak-punk – it wasn’t until Omni and La Luz that the afternoon clicked.

Levitation Review: Föllakzoid, The Men, Vuelveteloca

How long are the Andes? How high is space? These questions floated in my mind Friday night at Barracuda while enjoying sounds from the rich psych soil of Santiago Chile. The answers: 4,500 and 62 miles, respectively.

Levitation Review: Electric Wizard, Russian Circles, the Well

When Sound On Sound cancelled last year, it robbed Austin heshers of the hotly anticipated return of Electric Wizard. Last seen locally at Emo’s Jr. in 2001, the Dorset-born doomsters have grown in stature and influence since then, thrillingly demonstrated by Friday night’s slaying of a sold-out Stubb’s.

Levitation Review: Panda Bear, Geologist, Lou Rebecca

The solo endeavors of pioneering electro-pop troupe Animal Collective track a constellation of experimentation, each of the four members psychedelicizing their own ambient rock. Friday, two of the spearheading cooperative’s stars aligned at Mohawk. Noah Lennox (Panda Bear) preceded by Brian Weitz (Geologist) sold-out the Levitation showcase.
