Stream New Letting Up Despite Great Faults

Playing catch up with recent transplants to Austin Letting Up Despite Great Faults, I saw on the intarwebs they recently shared a track called “Visions” off the pending album to stream and download over at their Soundcloud. The album Untogether will be released 10/9. Pre-Order options include red vinyl.

You want a little New Order nostalgia? You want harmonies and jams with a floating bass line? How about a Radio Dept.-esque gazy vocal? Click on the arrow below and give the track a spin before downloading.

Austin’s Lean Hounds set the crowd up for the exhausting performance. More notes and some of the favorite pics I’ve taken in a while are after the break.
