“Levitate” fuses alt-rock punchiness and shoegaze-inspired textures for an impactful listen, coming via Phoenix, AZ-based band Silverface Twin. “Teach me how to leave the ground,” the initial vocals build with dreamy momentum, bolstered by pulsing guitar and rhythmic energy when admitting thereafter “I don’t know how to fall in love.” The ensuing sequence delights in its more soaring melodic disposition and lush guitar tones. The raucous, energizing “passed out in the backseat” bridge is delectably interwoven as well.
“Levitate, ten feet off the ground,” the delivery shines there, seamlessly shifting between the serene hookiness here and the more Riot Grrrl-adjacent verses. The memorable track is told as a love song, specifically about the band’s guitarist and lead singer, who have been in a relationship for eight years and got engaged this summer. “Levitate” is a captivating single from Silverface Twin, depicting the state of falling in love amidst a powerful rock production.
The track comes via Silverface Twin’s debut EP of the same name, streaming below:
