Mr. Limbis’ psychedelic rock song “Level Up” is reminiscent of a time in music when there was a little less pressure to adhere to some trendy genre tropes. With colorful guitar work and driving rhythms the song brings in some exploratory saxophone work and the kind of vocals with a touch of grit you’d expect more out of a punk band. The song’s lyrics are an interesting commentary on the clout culture of the current era and how often people treat it like some game you can beat if you are enough of a sociopath to treat the lives of others and life itself as some challenge to overcome in your quest for power and influence and over what? Mr. Limbis doesn’t offer an answer to that question because that’s as varied as there are people who take that path like many politicians and grifter influencers but his depiction of that way of thinking and living is certainly on point. At times the song hits like a weird combination of The Psychedelic Furs and Hawkwind which is the kind of genre bending that doesn’t happen but listening to this song and watching its colorful music video one hopes it does more often.
