Mark Feldman’s LEVEL5 is an evolving collective of top-drawer New York musicians. The Sybil EP was recorded with all-star line-up of guest musicians including Oz Noy on guitar, Will Lee on bass, Adam Klipple on keys, and Feldman on drums. It’s being released February 22 via Mutant Cat Records.
The Sybil EP is an instrumental feast, filled with catchy funk with prog twists and turns. Oz Noy wrote all the compositions and Feldman titled them. “I named the tunes using the feeling that I got from listening to the songs that Oz was writing,” Feldman says. “For example, the tune ‘Sybil,’ which jumps from chilled out funk to aggressive rock in a heartbeat, reminded me of the moodiness and unpredictability of some people I’ve known. The tune ‘Jabber Jaw’ sounds like a fiery argument between a couple, and ‘Swagger’ made me think about the sensual saunter of an old flame.”
The EP was also a bit of therapy for Mark, who used its creation as a way to let go of some baggage he collected during tumultuous past relationships. According to Feldman, “It’s a musical representation of some of the trials and tribulations of romance. The name ‘Sybil,’ and the depiction of her on the EP’s cover represent a fictional character who is an amalgamation of several of past acquaintances.”
