What you see on the surface level isn't quite always the reality. Levitation Jones causes a ruckus with some of his most deep-diving, yet dance-floor oriented, music yet. Three songs that you can vaguely categorize as 'dubstep' complete this weighty release, making you feel like you are swimming in a sea of constant sub-bass. Optical Sliding, as a whole, takes a temporary break from the more artistic side of Jones that we have seen in the past, and instead, provides a thuggin', head bobbin', mean-muggin' experience. However, don't think these songs don't have that classic LJ touch of introspection, these tunes will have you critically thinking about the intricacies of life and death, social interaction, and culture. Open your human experience to an unorthodox take on minimal and wonky basslines, Open your human experience to the Optical Sliding EP!
