Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

From Brooklyn, NY, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart's début album is the most infectious blast of pop perfection you will hear all year. Featuring the recent vinyl-only single "Everything With You", the eponymous album is a tidy distillation of all the great noise-pop precedents - early MBV, House of Love, Pale Saints, Rocketship — but with an incredible exuberance and energy that the Pains bring to every song. Every song is delivered with pure conviction and unstoppable verve, the excitement of youth just rushing forth and sweeping the listener along.
