Experienced shoegazers, Letting Up Despite Great Faults from Austin, Texas, reappear after a while with their fourth album, aptly titled IV, and unveil the introductory single, Gemini.
On par with the juxtaposition of well-crafted noisiness and alluring melody which earned the band accolades for their previous work, the new single comes with a sense of nostalgia and a lot of warmth. Gemini channels many of shoegaze pop's fundamentals, yet, coming from a band which has repeatedly proven itself for its songwriting merit, it all effects to something very positive, comprehensible and profuse with confidence.
This is a very welcome return in the world of shoegaze and dreampop, and a forward movement in the right, secure direction.
