Fortunately, complicated and overlong band names do not inhibit the creation of inspired and beautiful music. By pure chance, let's take Letting Up Despite Great Faults as an example for this thesis.
Another young and promising band from the City of Angels (Someone should write something about this rather unsettling development sooner or later; here's my thesis, unsupported for the time being: In 2010, the center of musical creativity is finally leaving Brooklyn and resettling in the Golden State. Any objections so far?), the four-piece makes shimmering dream pop akin to shoegaze, with warm synth melodies that are sometimes reminiscent of Beach House, but at the same time more guitar-affectionate and occasionally even played at a danceable pace. All in all, the perfect soundtrack for upcoming warm days in the sun.
Their self-titled full-length debut has already been released digitally by New Words in October.
Watch the video for Our Younger Noise, a cheesy yet charming summer romance:
