Your band's name is Letting Up Despite Great Faults. What's that all about?
Mike Lee: "It's a fairly verbose yet personal reminder to let up on your fears stemmed from all the mistakes and failures you see in yourself. Don't let your fear of inadequacy or mediocrity hold you back from what you want to do."
What are your band's worst faults?
"Dating within the band. But I swear we're over it!"
So what does letting up and having great faults actually sound like?
"Dreamy, hazy, washed, but very, very shy. And then all of a sudden [band member] Kent [Zambrana] will start dancing on your face."
