LVL UP calling it quits after one last tour, share final single

LVL UP, who released Return to Love on Sub Pop in 2016, are calling it quits. The band made the announcement today on their Facebook:

We have decided to retire this project. It has been an extremely rewarding journey beyond anything we could have ever realistically imagined. The band began in a college dorm room in 2011 as a lighthearted recording project. We have since been lucky enough to tour nationally and internationally over the last seven years with the support of many lovely people, and will never be able to thank our friends, families, and loved ones enough for providing such warmth throughout this experience. Our deepest gratitude goes out to every label, band, and person who’s played a role in this wild ride.

Along with this, LVL UP also shared their “last” single, “Orchard,” which they recorded earlier this year, and announced they’ll go on one last tour in August in September. That tour wraps up in NYC at Bowery Ballroom on September 28. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, June 15 at noon.

Before the tour they’ll also play Sub Pop’s 30th anniversary in Seattle. All dates are listed, along with a stream of “Orchard,” below.
