The Band: Letting Up Despite Great Faults

The Buzz: Lovely L.A. band gets right the balance between tight strumming and swooping electronics, turning out light, charming songs that are long on both melody and heartache.

Listen If: You’re sick and tired of waiting for that second Postal Service record.

Key Track: The gently surging “In Steps,” which makes an astonishing case for restraint, employing murmured vocals, tiny apostrophes of guitar and lightly lapping synths.
