Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
Perfect Right Now: A Slumberland Collection 08-10
The Pains of Being Pure At Heart exploded out of the late 00s Brooklyn indie scene with a bright, distinctive sound that
paid tribute to everything from C86 to early Slumberland, Sarah and Creation label pop, but with a distinct American
flavor drawn from groups like Smashing Pumpkins and The Exploding Hearts. Their 2009 self-titled debut is rightly
considered a classic, and with Perfect Right Now we're thrilled to round out the story of The Pains' early years.
The ten tracks here compile the much-loved (and LONG out of print!) b-sides from the 7"s that accompanied that first
album, the follow-up Higher Than The Stars EP, a couple of scarce tunes from split singles, and finally "Say No To
Love," a spectacular tune that points the way forward to the band's next chapter. There are some proper lost classics
here, songs like "Kurt Cobain's Cardigan" and "The Pains of Being Pure at Heart" that still pack the dancefloors at
indie discos from Göteborg to Glasgow and we couldn't be more excited to make them available again.
