LEV
LEV is “the introspective psychedelic romp of New Motels’ Josh Levandoski,” (John Vettese, The Key), a Jenkintown, Pennsylvania-based songwriter, teacher, and activist. Launching the project on Bandcamp in 2020, Levandoski has been regularly releasing music after a long hiatus after disbanding his former band New Motels. In 2021, LEV recruited old friends and bandmates Kyle McDonough, Doug Wartman, and Jason Dooney to perform his compositions to live audiences. “Together, their sound is bold and expansive, and calls to mind a broad palette of reference points” (JV)—Pearl Jam, Kevin Morby, Dr. Dog, The New Pornographers, and Ty Segall, to name a few. He is currently working on a new collection of songs with engineers Kyle Pulley and Danny Murillo at Headroom Studios.The group’s most recent singles, “Time was a Test” and “Broken Monkey” from their upcoming EP were both selected as WXPN Local Picks of the Day. In 2023, the band performed as a quintet on XPN’s Key Studio Sessions, which can be accessed through their linktree, as well as the links to Apple Music, Spotify, and Bandcamp.
