Pop Levi is an oddball, an eccentric in the finest English tradition and a man who evokes the effortless, timeless cool of many and varied heroes of modern music's life and times.
-
Nobody is putting out music like Pop Levi's right now.
-
Levi pulls off his flamboyant persona because he has the meticulously structured songs to carry it.
-
An admirably cocksure debut on which Levi makes like a 21st century T. Rex-- which, our current retro-obsessed rock culture notwithstanding, is not an easy thing to pull off.
-
MojoNo vintage-gear replicator, he's modern-sounding, fresh, fun--a genuine contender for 2007. [Mar 2007, p.105]

If Simple Kid is too simple for you, if you always liked Supergrass but never thought they pushed their material to its astral conclusion and felt their retro musings were a little too close to the original blueprint, then this baby, is for you.
-
He should recognise that his overlong songs could use a trim, but there is depth beyond the Willy Wonka weirdness.

MichaelBFeb 28, 2007Is has all the vibrancy of Marc Bolan, but then so does Marc Bolan. It has the freshness of Beck, but then so does Beck. Etc etc.
