Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Higher Than The Stars EP
2 months ago

“No secret’s too safe, and how you can’t stay, higher than the stars.” When Pains’ first song came out I remember my attention was caught first, by the name, and second, by the sound. One of their first hits, “Young Adult Friction” captures the soul by its retro snappy charm. Their self titled album does not [...]Related posts:The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – The Pains of Being P

If there's one album that's come close (oh so close!) to somehow being better than Merriweather Post Pavillion, it's the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart's self-titled debut. That record has soundtracked so many great moments for me this year that I feel like it's been around far longer than a few months.Well, they're back again with a [brilliant] EP.

'Sup In September: Ten Picks
2 months ago

I've still got a couple of show reviews to talk about, both of which sprang from this year's Summerworks Festival which took place a couple of weeks ago. But before we look back, I think it's time to look ahead to what's going on in September. Normally, September is regarded as one of the saddest months of the year since it is usually synonymous with the end of summer. However this year we neve...

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart: Higher Than The Stars [Album Review]
about 1 month ago

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart is definitely one of this year’s biggest hype bands, and it’s obvious why: their fuzzy pop is undeniably catchy and not overly drowned in the forced underproduction that can often plague the sub-genre. After a wildly successful self-titled debut LP, they return with Higher Than The Stars, an [...]

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart: Higher Than The Stars EP
about 1 month ago

There's nothing more frustrating than a band drilling themselves into the ground before they've even truly lived. The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are a relatively new band that not long ago released their very first album. It was OK, not bad, nothing memorable but nothing to smash furniture about.

New York-based indie quartet The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart evidently wear their influences on their collective sleeve. Despite the 2009 release date, this record could double as an epitaph for shoegazing. Made up of guitar-reliant pop numbers, girl-boy vocals and lyrics that speak of youthful immaturity, you will…
