When rhythm and soul collide with grit and psychedelia, something electric happens!
That’s exactly what “Ecclesiastes” delivers. The Boston-based band Sons of Levin blends classic rock, rhythm & blues, and psychedelic textures into one rhythmic, irresistible jam that begs to be experienced, not just heard.
The band is led by brothers Dylan and Connor Levinson, with Dylan on vocals and Connor on guitar. Rounding out the lineup are Dana Goodwin and Jesse Mattison on keyboards, Connor Frawley on bass, and Ben Kersh on drums.
The drumbeats are steady, dynamic, and full of movement. They don’t just keep time; they sculpt it, pushing the track forward with an energy that’s both tight and infectious. The grooves are confident and loose in just the right ways, making it impossible not to move.
The bass underpins everything with an electrifying, melodic presence. It’s not overpowering, yet attention grabbing. The keys bring the best of both worlds, nostalgia with its warmth, and contemporary with its vividity. The guitar work subtly lays bluesy ambience immersed with psychedelic textures. The solo with the upbeat clapping offers a head-nodding, foot-tapping foundation that defines great groove-based rock.
The characteristic vocals, both melodic and lush, draw one into a rock ‘n roll atmosphere, authentically conveying the lyrical theme of freedom and justice with a resonant sense of empowerment.
If you’re looking for a solid rock track with sharp musicianship and lyrics that speak to something bigger, “Ecclesiastes” delivers.
As a teaser from their upcoming EP, “Ecclesiastes” indeed, sets the bar.
Stay tuned! It’s only the beginning.
