The Stroppies’ “Levity” was their most eclectic release to date, suffused with nervous energy and cartoon-lightbulb revelations. Sharp, funny, occasionally despairing lyrics pepper songs featuring sophistipop synths, bouncy rhythms, and punk muscle.

I know that the idea of the mid-year and year-end list can elicit a big eye roll from some, but since I think it always shines a nice light on some records that I love that might not be getting all the attention elsewhere, I’ll keep it up. https://t.co/c9S93QuJIP

A few listens in and I can confidently say that “Levity” is The Stroppies’ best yet. Sharp, clever songwriting and a varied sonic palette from the last half century of underground pop. Now to hold my breath ‘til my copy makes it over from the UK. https://t.co/uh7fkWDvk8
