Just in time for Valentine’s Day! If this fantastic cover of short-lived British Group I-Level does not set the mood for your day, I don’t know what will. This is one to file under play and share.
Track description
A few years ago we stumbled upon the inspiring sounds of I-Level, a short lived British group from the early 80s whose sound anticipates electrosoul by nearly three decades. Simultaneously tropical and urban, their work blends the emerging electronic musical tropes of the time with live instrumentation that resonated with our sensibilities. After keeping their sole album in rotation for a few years, we spent some time reimagining their unique approach with our own flavor.
