The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
Slumberland Records [2009]






Fire Drills Review:
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart possess a true mix of modern indie, shoegaze and a little 80's inspired alt-pop that together equal a very infectious self-titled debut record. Their ten tracks have a drenched fuzzy surrounding that each have a lush and harmonic indie pop inside which will make you sway, foot tap and hum along on each perfect package. At thirty-five minutes you never get tired of the melodies nor the in your ear buzz that will leave you with a smile and reaching for that repeat button because POBPAH have released that kind of album!

Key Track: "Young Adult Friction"

Band With Similar Fire: House Of Love

Young Adult Fiction (mp3)
Everything With You (mp3)
