Entering the indie music scene with a storm of hype can mean soul-crushing pressure for a band trying to find their audience. Luckily, the quartet known as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart quietly came into the room with a debut album that found critical praise and have been watching the fan-base grow steadily ever since.In a community where oddities are embraced, it can be difficult to be noticed for getting back to basics. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are an Indie Pop/Rock Band at their core, turning out songs that are perfect for house party fun. Their debut album is full of fuzzy guitars and reverb-laden vocals complete with hummable melodies.
But rowdy pop rock can be deceiving! The band is tight and the melodies are crisp without trying too hard. These may be indie songs that you can sing along to, but don’t be fooled by the music’s friendliness; closer attention to the lyrics reveals the unexpected depth and sincerity of truly great indie rock.
If the world of indie is ever getting a bit too strange, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are a great retreat to what makes a great indie rock band.

### ON SALE NOW!!! ###
纽约独立乐团The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart吉隆坡专场
来自纽约的独立团体The Pains of Being Pure at Heart于近期发行了他们的第二张专辑《Belong》。说实话在而今要么粗制滥造求量不求质，要么顽固不化追求音乐私人化的音乐届，像The Pains of Being Pure at Heart这样上进又懂得交流的乐队已是为数不多。近年来Shoegaze风潮死灰复燃，而The Pains of Being Pure at Heart便是看准了机会，将优美与实验炖在一锅，飘香四溢让人欲仙欲醉。这张新专辑虽被归为独立流行，但流行旋律下铺垫的噪音却时不时成为主角，勾人魂魄，将你拖入充满浓雾与未知的幻境。
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart非常清楚的知道自己除了需要The Smashing Pumpkins之外，还需要什么。为了梦想砸上你所有的家当，买更好的吉他，更好的效果器以及请像Flood这样的大牌制作人（曾为The Smashing Pumpkins、U2、PJ Harvey等乐队制作专辑），只有一个目的，让音乐听起来更动听，让自己的梦想不至于一直困惑在飘渺的幻觉中。深深印刻在《Belong》《Heart in Your Heartbreak》等歌曲里的，不仅仅是醉生梦死的飘逸感，还有那与梦想指尖相碰时的兴奋，这会是多么令人着迷。
