Video Premiere: LVL UP’s Spooky “Graveyard”

Beware of the toilet-paper monster

March 28, 2013  |  By Christopher Powell

Today, the Purchase, NY, fuzzed-out rockers of LVL UP are premiering their video for “Graveyard” on CMJ. The song comes off of their upcoming Extra Worlds 7-inch on Double Double Whammy. The grainy clip plays like an old episode of Scooby-Doo, with the meddling four-piece getting chased around the halls of a school by a toilet-paper monster. I’m sure it would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t…well, you get it. Director David Grimaldi also entertains with shots of the band and friends engaged in shenanigans in front of some delightfully cheesy, psychedelic backdrops. I think these days that’s just called seapunk though, right?

LVL UP - "Graveyard"

I have far too many nostalgic ties to "*_*" for me to dethrone that song as my favorite LVL UP track, but I will say that the SUNY Purchase four-piece's latest single "Graveyard" has the greatest potential of any of their songs to become an early, career-defining indie rock hit. For one thing, it's considerably better from a production standpoint than anything on their ramshackle, lo-fi debut Space Brothers, released in 2011. That record was great precisely because it felt so amateurishly sewn together, like a homemade quilt of all the great indie rock sounds of the 90s pumped through a forgiving reverb filter. 

"Graveyard," by contrast, taps into something entirely more visceral, though still true to the band's humble DIY origins. It's not that they've suddenly grown up -- although some of them are still teenagers, I firmly believe that they knew exactly what they were going for on Space Brothers. Rather, I think that the past year of touring and playing together has hardened these formerly-green college kids into true road warriors. The gritty, aggro tone of the guitars and bass on this track are testament to this, as are the eviscerating group-screams in the chorus. It's invigorating in a way that nothing on Space Brothers even tried to be, and although it will still be recognizable to anyone who loved that album's spacey, lackadaisical atmosphere, it's hard not to appreciate how much the increased energy level benefits LVL UP's sound.
