Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Letting Up Despite Great Faults is the electro-based sonic diary of founding member, Mike Lee. They first entered the music scene in 2006 with the release of the Movement EP, which included songs that were featured on NPR and the hit television drama, One Tree Hill. Since then, they've refined and expanded their sound, bridging the gap between lo-fi, shoegaze and indie rock on their self-titled full length release in 2009. The album was met with unanimous critical acclaim, garnering rave reviews from the likes of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Exclaim!, and countless indie music blogs. Judging by the rapidly growing number of fans being left smitten by Letting Up’s brand of “dreamy indie pop that boys want to make and girls want to fall in love with” (TheNewMusic.net), it doesn’t look like they’ll be letting up any time soon.
