Feeling as if the Pains of Being Pure at Heart left you behind by strengthening their sound with a little bit of the loud? Well, if you miss those whispering vocals amid melodious post-rock, then let me introduce you to Letting Up Despite Great Faults. The LA band has been working really hard, and they’ve readied a brand new EP, titled Paper Crush. It will be released by Old Flame on the 2nd of August, and I’ve just been blasting it around my house all afternoon. Sure, there are similarities with POBPAH, but don’t just think this band is here to rip any one off. The vocals are superb, pristine, yet quiet, and the album has a ferocity that you wouldn’t necessarily expect upon first listen. Get ready folks, as this is something really special.
