Music reviews of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Music Review: Promising debut album
Rating: 4 Stars
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart formed in New York in 2007 and late that year released a self-titled EP that was quite well received. The band dug in and for much of 2008 concentrated on recording their debut album.
"The Pains of Being Pure At Heart" (10 tracks; 35 min.) immediately invites comparisons to other noisy, shoegazing bands like My Bloody Valentine and Velocity Girl. not that there is anything wrong with that. The question is whether the band executes well, and the clear answer is yes. Best tracks for me on the album are the opener "Contender", "Come Saturday", with its strong hooks (my favorite track of the album, period), "Everything With You", which sounds like a can't miss single as well, and "Hey Paul" (one of the few songs from the debut EP to make it on the album). At 35 min. this album clips by in no time, and you'll find yourself playing this again and again.
In all, this is a promising debut album, and I'll be interested to see where the Pains take it from here. If you wonder where you can hear those guys, look no further than internet-only WOXY (Bam! The Future of Rock and Roll), the best indie-music station in the country, bar none (and where I first heard the Pains). The Pains are scheduled to play at the Monolith music festival (at Reds Rocks, near Denver) in September, and I can't wait to see how they'll bring these songs live.
Description of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
2009 release. Since forming in early 2007, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart have become one of the most talked-about Pop bands in years. Their distinctive style tidily distills all the great Noise-Pop precedents (early My Bloody Valentine, House of Love, Pale Saints, Rocketship) with incredible exuberance and energy in every song. 10 tracks.Alternative Rock CDs
