Central Arkansas quartet LEVELS — Kolby Carignan [vocals], Jager Felice [guitar], Jacob Hubbard [bass], and Dalton Kennerly [drums] — are thrilled to announce the April 10 release of their new album This Will Make You Feel Again via SharpTone Records. Pre-order it here. Today, the band shares the video for the double single “Fume” and “Death Dance.”
Regarding “Fume,” the band states, “The song explores the emotional weight of a relationship pushed to its limits by burnout, miscommunication, and constant internal struggle. Through vivid imagery, it captures the tension between a love that’s inevitably turning cold and the desire to try and reignite it. It is a plea for connection, an honest reflection on trying to break through emotional distance and offer refuge before everything is burned.”
As for “Death Dance,” it’s “about obsession — when one person becomes home, poison, and salvation all at once. It’s that feeling where leaving seems impossible, but staying slowly kills you. It’s caught between survival and surrender, and the song feeds from that space.”
The band retains a singular focus with the album — and that’s to elicit a visceral response.
“For us, the main priority is to make you feel something,” affirms Carignan. “If you come to a LEVELS show or listen to a record, you should leave fully nourished. We don’t create songs; we create experiences.”
Overall, This Will Make You Feel Again is more than an album or a statement; it’s a call to action. “As creativity becomes shackled to algorithms and artificial intelligence, TWMYFA subverts the standard and unapologetically delivers emotionally charged experiences grounded in reality and rhythm,” the band declares. “Through its pulverizing riffs, electric energy, and hypnotic melodies, this release extensively explores elements of the modern human struggle—such as maintaining a sense of identity, reconciling religion with reality, and adapting in the wake of the unimaginable. From the void of collateral content, this album reaches out to offer you an escape: To feel.”
