Letting Up Despite Great Faults – “Dress”
LA and Austin based Letting Up Despite Great Faults has a new single, “Dress” off of the EP of the same name. A delightful indie dream pop four piece, they’ve been playing together in some form since 2009 and haven’t looked back (well, went on a hiatus for awhile but it sounds cooler to say they didn’t look back).
The track is impeccably put together with a strong bass line underpinning the whole song, but never once overpowers the the wispy guitars or vocals. From the start to the end it’s a lesson in simplicity that doesn’t sound it; LUDGF is obviously teaching the 400 level course for it.
Speaking to the track, songwriter Mike Lee had this to say:
“…Thinking about old and former friends and loves, and then thinking about my own funeral, I quickly got stuck on this curiosity of what everyone would wear. You know, the ones who really aren’t in your life anymore, but still feel connected enough to want to attend.” Ya know, super light stuff.
You can watch the music video for “Dress” below on YouTube and save it to your introspective existential Spotify list (everybody has one, right?) The new album, Reveries is out October 11, so be sure to check that out if you’re picking up what they’re putting down.
