Melodic lo-fi rock band LVL UP release their new record Return to Love today, their first release on their new label Sub Pop. To celebrate the move to the storied Seattle label, LVL UP put together a playlist of some of their favorite releases from Sub Pop and Hardly Art.

We looked through the entire Sub Pop catalog and were happily surprised to learn that we have loved a lot of these releases for a long time. Here's a selection of fifteen favorite tracks of ours from the big doggie's catalog.

Love,
LVL UP *_*
