Last week saw Letting Up Despite Great Faults, the indie dreampop band from Los Angeles, CA and Austin, Texas, return with their new album, Reveries.
The lush and dreamy track captures a sense of nostalgia with some widescreen cinematic arrangements, that are perfectly paired with equally inviting vocals that perfect guide the side through it’s very 80s sound.
Speaking on the track, the band adds:
I was writing fast song after fast song and finally realized I needed to slow down. This was the last album 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?
Enjoy a listen below and find the album available to stream + buy at Bandcamp.
