Chicago bass trio Levity are capping off a breakout year with a new EP. Escapism Vol. II arrives November 13 via Ultra Records, a massive, twelve-track project that features GRAMMY-nominated artist K.Flay and marks another step in the group’s shift from festival discovery to full-fledged headline act.
The EP includes ‘Slipping Away‘ with K.Flay, alongside ‘Neon Soul,’ ‘Heartbreak,’ and ‘Can’t Get Enough.’ Across the piece, the trio — made up of John, Josh, and PJ — lean into their bass-heavy production while pulling in more melodic and emotionally driven songwriting than past releases. It’s a continuation of the project’s underlying theme: using music as a form of escape and connection for their audience.
‘Slipping Away’ sits at the center of the release, blending Levity’s high-impact bass production with K.Flay’s alternative rock-leaning vocals and songwriting. It’s the clearest example yet of the trio pushing past the boundaries of straightforward dubstep, something they’ve been edging toward as their live shows have scaled up. The other three cuts round out the EP’s focus on genre-blurring production without losing the low-end weight that’s defined their sound.
The release caps a genuinely stacked 2026 for the group.
