The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Add Date: January 20

Artist: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Album: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Label: Slumberland

Genre: Rock, shoegaze pop

Comments: Don't let the emo-sounding name fool you: the Pains of Being Pure at Heart make very enjoyable, nearly angst-free pop music. The shoegazey sound of this New York band's debut on Slumberland (Crystal Stilts, caUSE co-MOTION) will appeal to fans of early My Bloody Valentine, Painful-era Yo La Tengo and the more upbeat side of the Raveonettes. Check out "Come Saturday," "Contender" and "Everything With You."
