The Level is the moniker of a songwriter seeking solid ground amid the ever growing tides. Following several independent releases, the debut EP Technocrats marks the project’s first cohesive statement. The record gestures at the fallout of modern life - hyper-optimization, the claustrophobia of choice, and the quiet alienation they bring - while turning inward toward memory and reckoning with the impossibility of return.

Recorded at Retro City Studios by Grammy Award-winning engineer/producer Matthew Poirier, the 8-track EP teeters between self-doubt and the small pangs of feeling that hold us steady, even as the tower we’ve built comes crashing down.
