Following a narrative of apocalyptic tides and the oceanic sublime, Sea Levels sinks into the ambient, house, and techno realms with flashes of two-step, hip hop and dub. It's an idiosyncratic take on British electronic music viewed through the lens of relocation, aided by an arsenal of analog synthesizers, drum machines, and psychotropic effects.

Kloke’s music exists within a new “Bubble Metropolis” that inspires shimmering grandeur and water-logged dread rather than urban nihilism. Delicate in its peaceful moments yet conditioned to the inevitable tide, Sea Levels invokes harmony and disarray in equal measures. “Mayfield” and “Room With A View” cast quiet hope against the surge that follows “Ritual” and “Flood”, both of which storm in fervent opposition to the coral groove of opener “Deep City”. All harbors of tranquility burst under the shapeshifting whump of “Unlearning”, a fitting finale for Kloke’s first release in two years that dishevels UK-centric tropes into a bristling menace of collisional origins.
