Indie-pop band Letting Up Despite Great Faults released their new single “She Spins” on February 4. “She Spins” is the last single before their long-awaited comeback album, set to release on March 4. The song is a great pick-me-up for any indie-music lover.
Letting Up Despite Great Faults was founded in 2006 by the band’s vocalist and guitarist Mike Lee, and they have released three albums together since. The Austin-based band’s music has also been featured in multiple television shows, such as 90120, One Tree Hill, and Now Apocalypse.
The song is a great indie track overall; with playful electric guitar, mesmerizing drum beats, and laid-back vocals, the single is perfect for any group setting or hanging with friends. The high-energy dream pop tune follows the thoughts of a guy who feels insecure in his relationship.
She spins like she’s waiting for my doom
I feel like I’m skating on thin ice with you
