Letting Up Despite Great Faults Share Slow Magic Remix

Leave a comment

Earlier this year, our friends in Letting Up Despite Great Faults dropped their album IV, the first LP from the group in ten years; we’ve written extensively about the new album, but today, they’re sharing a Remix EP, with this Slow Magic version of “Corners Pressed” being one of the standout tracks. Instead of the heavenly jangles, the electronic element gets the highlight here, giving the song more of a driving force, as opposed to the dreaminess of the original. It’s like a perfect reimagining of the record, and one can only marvel out how perfectly these pieces all seem to fit together. The IV Remixes EP is available to jam out to, today!

In other news of things I’ve skipped the last few weeks, this new video from Letting Up Despite Great Faults; I did cover the original single though! So, here we are with the band jamming out in their practice space, each person getting a little solo time to walk about while the band jams around them. I love that you get a little bit of the live Kent vibe, as he’s one of my favorite bass players to watch. The band will be dropping their new album, IV, in early March, with a tour to follow out West with other ATH faves Blushing. You can pre-order the LP HERE.

What?! Two Letting Up Despite Great Faults posts in two days?! Well, I could have waited to share this new jam with you, as I knew it was coming, but I wanted folks to attend the show in Austin last night. They played well last night, dusting off a bit of the rust to share some of the music they’ve got coming on their forthcoming album, like this tune below. For me, as a fan of the genre, I really love the way the band layers the guitars, sort of weaving these intricate post-punk patterns while Mike Lee’s voice operates like an emotional aloe, soothing listeners. The band are still wrapping up details on the new LP, but we’re just glad they’re back…especially Kent, stomping about the stage with that bass!
