Pop Levi: Medicine

-- By KCRW Music Librarian and DJ, Eric J. Lawrence

Pop Levi is one of those mercurial artists. He’s glammy (in a Marc Bolan sort of way). He’s cosmic (in a Sun Ra sort of way). He’s purple (in a Prince sort of way). Whatever adjectives you care to throw his direction are probably not enough to properly define this British-born, LA-based rocker. But the man knows his way around super catchy hooks, dozens (if not hundreds) of which are on display on Medicine, his third official solo album.

Medicine makes for a musical journey that actually might require some tincture to straighten your head and ears out after listening. But it’s a trip worth taking.

Medicine will be available to stream on demand from Monday November 19 through November 26, 2012.
