Welcome back. Youve been out in the wilderness wandering,
lost, confused. Now its time to come home. Pop Levi genuine
maverick has returned with a new album, the avant-pop
masterpiece Never Never Love.

A true cult hero (NME), probably the only contemporary
musician in the world beloved of both Jarvis Cocker and Noel
Gallagher, ex-Ladytron bassist Pop was never likely to come
back with the same record all over again and Never Never
Love doesnt disappoint.

Recorded entirely in Hollywood at Quincy Jones old studio,
Westlake, where both Thriller & Off The Wall were laid down,
Mr Levi has returned with an album about the madness of love -
100 autobiographical, 100 clever, 100 dumb, 100 unique.
And thats giving 400 already.

From transitional rockers like Wannamama and Oh God, Pop
spreads his wings, relying on a production flare, which makes
the record feel fresh and slick as well as charmingly
hi-lo-fi. Never Never Love shows that while he hasnt
abandoned the dynamics of the rock group he has also been
steeping himself in contemporary r&b. Central track Dita
Dimone re-tells of his break-up with the songs eponymous
heroine with all the low-slung swing sass of a future-classic.
From hereon in the album takes off in all kinds of weird and
wonderful directions from the crazed danger pop of Mais
Space to the heartfelt longing of Semi-Babe, the wonky dub
of Call The Operator to the final comedown of Fountain of
Lies.

Flamboyant, utterly self-confident, completely his own man and
so uninterested in the back and forth of fashion that
everything he makes is an instant classic, Pop Levi is in the
building. Bow down and give thanks...
