Pop Levi is kinda small and reedy and darkly, hairily handsome, and, far more important, the maker of an odd brand of music that is sort of like a combination of every kind of pop ever heard all at once, yet it manages to stay original.
Pop Levi's career started in the fogs of Liverpool. Somewhere along the line, he got the opportunity to play bass for electronic-rock artists Ladytron, and then the guy who wrote the songs for Ladytron heard Pop's solo stuff and put it on his own label, Invicta HiFi, and then the estimable DJ-type post-post-electronic label Ninja Tune heard that.
Pop took a long time recording his solo stuff because he needed certain sounds. He also needed to octuple-track guitars, pan them insanely, hire mini-orchestras, etc.
His song Sugar Assault Me Now can be heard in trailers for the 2010 film Get Him To The Greek.

With the loving disruption
You step right by me
You're Hades' Lady
Just another man, 'nother man
With the loving corruption
You step right by e
Geomantic sign, 'mantic sign
Fortuna major
You step right by me
You're Hades 'Lady
Elemental line, 'mental line
Your fire's contagious
You step right by me
You're Hades' Lady
Tarot from the skies, from the skies
Warning me of a traitor
You step right by me
You're Hades' Lady
Love is in disguise, in disguise
As the force of nature
You step right by me
You're Hades' Lady
Baby you're the one, you're the one
With the loving disruption
You step right by me
You're Hades' Lady
Just another man, 'nother man
With the loving corruption
You step right by me
You're Hades' Lady
Pop Levi's song Hades' Lady is an enigmatic tribute to the goddess of the underworld, Hades. The lyrics speak of a woman who represents love that is both disruptive and corruptive. The first verse addresses her, calling her the one with "loving disruption" and "Hades' Lady." The second verse shifts the focus to another man, who is also corrupted by her love. The song makes references to various types of divination, such as geomantic signs, elemental lines, and tarot cards, warning of treachery and deceit.
The chorus repeats the opening lines, "Baby you're the one, you're the one with the loving disruption," reinforcing the power that this woman holds over the singer. The bridge compares the woman's love to a force of nature and reinforces the idea that love can be both beautiful and dangerous.
The song's use of mythology and divination adds an element of mystery and depth to the lyrics. It suggests that the singer is under the spell of a powerful force that he cannot resist. The song leaves much to interpretation, but it's clear that Hades' Lady is a woman to be reckoned with.
