Letting Up Despite Great Faults comforts themselves by combining melancholy melodies with an assortment of electronic production styles. The results range from inspired minimal techno to pop songs buried in static, cut-up acoustic guitars, sampled symphonies struggling to find somewhere to settle, found sound and blissed-out drones. Against that ragged digitized background, every song sounds dense and interesting. But it’s their skill with blending that experimentation into solidly structured and appealing tunes that makes their self titled debut record special. Letting Up Despite Great Faults is not an act to miss this coming Noise-Pop Festival.
See them with Memory Tapes February 27th at the Bottom Of The Hill. Tickets and passes here.
