Record review | New Releases

Levi Fuller — Colossal

I keep playing Levi Fuller's tumescent third and new album Colossal over and over again. Unlike many that I either/or enjoy and review, I start right from the first song, the title track, in which a slow build up of quiet then louder backing vocals pushes the song from warmth into empowerment. But the lyrics remained so mysterious to me, I emailed the Fuller and asked what the song was about.

"It's actually about colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni).  I wrote it several years ago to play at a meeting of the Cephalopod Appreciation Society.  Then I put it on Ball of Wax Volume 1.  Then I kept playing it."

Who likes local indie rock and swearing?

You should definitely go to the Ball of Wax release party at the Sunset Thursday night because it's not like you're going to be hearing any of these songs on the radio anytime soon.
