Letting Up Despite Great Faults prepare for the release of their new album, Reveries, coming on October 11th, 2024, mixed by Jay Som and mastered by Simon Scott (Slowdive). The band's new material has revealed a bit of a more pop sensibility to their sound and songwriting, while their latest single and video, Dress, remains true to their characteristic guitar-minded dreampop style.
Songwriter Mike Lee unfolds: "I was writing fast song after fast song and finally realized I needed to slow down. This was the last song I wrote for the album, and it felt so good to just pick up a guitar, take my time, and write a song from start to finish. No need for samples or crazy analog envelopes. 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. Would they care what they wore, what it meant…what if it was the same outfit as the last time we saw each other? Does that person even remember? Or... do they really remember?"
