On Balligomingo’s RCA Victor Group debut Beneath the Surface, he designs a lush soundscape of electronic, acoustic, orchestral and world beat textures layered with hauntingly seductive vocalists, including Kristy Thirsk, well known to ambient-pop fans as lead singer of Delerium and the Juno Award-winning ensemble The Rose Chronicles.
Balligomingo’s female vocalists deliver an ethereal Delerium-esque sound which weaves beautifully through an Enigma meets Massive Attack style soundscape.
“Balligomingo was just an idea I carried with me for years,” he says.
Balligomingo programmer Schwarz remarks, "He was absolutely key in the making of this record." Levaks trademark musical approach of infusing acoustic and electric guitar textures, coloring with moody/melodic piano and writing pop sensible chord progressions take the listener on a sonic journey of musical enlightenment via the Balligomingo soundscape.
"Balligomingo is something of a melting pot of all of my favorite groups and sounds, pulling interesting ideas together and finding a happy medium between pure ambient electronic and hard rock alternative music," he says.
Balligomingo is more bass-heavy than some of the other groups and those darker edges are balanced by the ethereal vocals.
