Levitation Sessions return with a live performance film and album from GOAT! Despite their cryptic and secretive lifestyle, the mysterious Swedish collective have been at the forefront of modern psych, and this live release follows a decade of cult-classic LPs - each a timeless entry into the psych canon, a heady mix of world music, 60s fuzz, afrobeat and funk grooves and Swedish psychedelia, from their 2012 debut World Music, to their most recent 2023 release, Medicine. Their Levitation Session film and live album was recorded in the heart of winter in early 2023, capturing the alchemy of the bandβs creative process and a glimpse of their legendary live show, filmed in the bandβs studio headquarters.
βWe chose to record the session in our old temple during a cold night under a huge midnight sun in the darkest winter time. We thought it would bring out the best magic in us and we think it did. As the hours went by it started to loosen up and we went into some free form experiments with our electronics. In the end, this film became a perfect representation of what we do when we hang out β - GOAT

First song was great, and now 30 seconds into Golden Dawn and I'm hooked. Taking the rest of the day off to craft myself a mask.
