The Only Way Is Up

Letting Up Despite Great Faults
Genre: Indie / Electro / Shoegaze
From: Los Angeles, California, United States


Cali nu gazers the verbosely monikered Letting Up Despite Great Faults are about to release their debut, self-titled LP in October 2009. Not a band to rush things their debut lands a full three years since the release of their well received debut seven track EP Movement. A band clearly not afraid of 'borrowing' the title of a New Order album!

The band have used their time wisely and well, embellishing the intimate, intricate and melancholic songs that filled 'Movement' with catchy guitars and dance beats. The new album chronicles hard times, sad times and those all too rare times when your heart is light and all is well with the world. It's the perfect album to soundtrack a Sunday afternoon drive through the countryside during a rainstorm or a pensive evening at home alone after a difficult day.

Letting Up Despite Great Faults is an album to grow old with which is just as well because it'll probably be another three years until their next one.
