Further US tour dates TBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the track, front man Mike Lee says:&nbsp;<em>\u201c\u2018Corners Pressed\u2019 is about how you remember your past. The same events have a way of playing out differently in the way different people remember them, and sometimes our memories have a way of carrying themselves as heavier than they really should be. Reality becomes skewed towards how we remember it, and our memories become our guide, whether they were real or not.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Letting Up Despite Great Faults was founded by Mike Lee in Los Angeles, CA. In 2006 he wrote an EP described by\u00a0NPR\u00a0as \u201c<em>beautiful, lolling music\u201d<\/em>, but it wasn\u2019t until a few years later that he would deliver the band\u2019s now-signature noisier, lusher soundscapes on a debut LP buzzed about all around the blogosphere, drawing praise from\u00a0Pitchfork, Consequence, Gold Flake Paint, KEXP\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitchfork may have found their first single on MySpace, but Mike found his first bandmate Kent Zambrana (bass) on Craigslist. Soon after, they upped sticks and moved to Austin, TX, where they linked up with remaining members Daniel Schmidt (drums) and Annah Fisette (guitar, vocals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, after eight years, the band are back with a new full-length titled \u2018IV&#8217;\u2014filled with dreamier soundscapes, and covering topics of growth, loss, and regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the album mastered by Simon Scott of Slowdive it\u2019s hard not to label it as a shoegaze record, but from deep storytelling to catchy indie-pop melodies, they hope to show fans, both old and new, just how much they&#8217;ve grown in their little corner of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More details TBA over the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Live dates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mar 11&nbsp;New York, NY @ New Colossus<br>Mar 17-19&nbsp;Austin, TX @ SXSW&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Austin,TX-based shoegaze favourites\u00a0Letting Up Despite Great Faults\u00a0have shared their\u00a0new single Corners Pressed which is\u00a0out now\u00a0on all good digital service providers.
