Label: Fortuna Pop
It's like 1986 all over again and Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are next alongside Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts & Manhattan Love Suicides with their own softer, sweeter, slightly more shoegaze-y take on things. Debut album from this New York band stacked with '80's jangle pop glory...
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart’s sulky shoegaze and noise pop is nostalgic in all the right ways. Simple but infectious melodies and lovelorn lyrics lie beneath layers of fuzzy distortion. The only kind of melancholy you’ll come back for more of.
FFO: My Bloody Valentine, The Pastels, The Wedding Present, The Jesus and Mary Chain.
