Los Angeles psych-rock gurus Levitation Room are back today with their first release of the year, “It Happens All the Time.” Painting a dreamy image of a goddess-like woman while employing imagery of the celestial world, the band is excited to experiment with new techniques and stylings in their upcoming releases — Stream.
“We’ve tried recording this song several times before but hadn’t been able to capture the song’s essence until working with our friend Iggy at Savannah Studios,” shares lead guitarist Gabe Fernandez. “Julian first brought the song to the table quite fleshed out with changes and lyrics that evoked imagery of a starry night romance. My lead guitar draws from John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band era with a heavy rotary effect that gives a feeling of warm waves throughout the song. It’s a different approach to our song structure, even exploring more chordal varieties at the end of it. After several studio attempts we finally got the dreamy sound we felt was the embodiment of the song.”
Beginning in a couple of weeks, Levitation Room will be out on the road for a North American tour. Across the dates, they will play with The Mystery Lights, Los Blenders and Brainstory. While in Oklahoma, Levitation Room will join the lineup of Norman Music Festival. See all upcoming dates here and below.

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the bands’ first celebrated EP Minds of Our Own. To honor the milestone, they will be releasing the 6 songs on vinyl for the very first time on April 12 for Record Store Day in collaboration with Greenway Records.
The band shared online, “Initially just a demo CD, Minds of Our Own is a collection of studio sessions and DIY demo recordings from the first era and LR band lineup. Its first official release was a small run on cassette, those of which quickly became a gem for the folks lucky to have one. We’re excited to say these tracks will FINALLY be released on vinyl to enjoy the way we’ve always wished for. This record captures a special era of the band and we’ll always be thankful to everyone who listened, supported and kept these songs alive.”
ABOUT LEVITATION ROOM:
East Los Angeles quartet Levitation Room’s floaty, cosmic songs are always a trip. Since forming nearly a decade ago, they’ve self-produced dizzying, otherworldly music that’s connected with fellow travelers in the hallucinogenic world of outré rock music. The band has enchanted live audiences across the US, Mexico, and Europe, on tour with like-minded groups Post Animal and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. Levitation Room have continued to expand their colorful, unearthly sound since their last album Strange Weather.
First breaking into the scene in 2015 with their beloved EP Minds of Our Own, Levitation Room have been a centerpiece of the LA psych rock scene ever since. The subsequent releases of their albums Ethos (2016) and Headspace (2019), paired with extensive touring and festival performances across North America and Europe, have won the band a far-reaching, fervent fanbase and millions of global streams to date. Joined by new member Kevin Perez (bass) in 2021, Levitation Room have continued to expand their colorful, unearthly sound, a process that has culminated with the vibrant new album Strange Weather. Now teed up with new music, the band will be out on the road in 2025 while unleashing their latest era all the while.
