Leviethan

Acoustic / Folk Rock / Psychedelic

Portland, OR

Billboard

"Not only does he have a hammer, he uses it. Cecil's music brims with evocative melody and emotion, harmony and a certain honesty and earthiness. Mesmerizing strands of steely independent punk conviction and a lyrical underpinning of elliptical, folk-rock imperative."
-Portland Center Stage

"Monuments flutters in the open air between enjoyable and perfect for 34 straight minutes. It sounds alternatingly like a big-budget psychedelic-rock production from the late '60s and a neo-folk gem. It sounds, most of all, like a labor of true love, making its imperfections real easy to overlook. As compelling as anything in recent memory."
-Casey Jarman, Willamette Week

"If the Northwest has its own musical sound, it's exemplified on Leviethan Cecil's 2007 release, Monuments in Memory of Nothing So Far. It's vintage indie-rock made modern. The lyrics have a dreamlike quality, beautiful and deep. Monuments gets a place in my Top 10 CDs of 2007."
-Amy Atkins, Boise Weekly

"The kind of lo-fi bedroom pop the Northwest seems to have perfected, with more than enough twists and turns to keep things lively and interesting. Monuments is a beguiling look at a talented musician, not to mention a lovely album in its own right."
-Barbara Mitchell, Portland Tribune

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Feel free to download my music!
