Seems there is a new album, called ‘Belong’, on the way next year from New York indie popsters the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Another release in what seems like an endless stream of newbies from the Slumberland based quartet. For some reason this has shaken me from their scent (in much the same way that Will Oldham went through an incredibly prolific phase some years back) which is a bit silly because every time I check in I tend to marvel at their pretty tunes. ‘Young Adult Friction’ popped into my shuffle earlier today and sounded so cute and bright that I couldn’t not remark on it. Kip Berman and Peggy Wang’s vocal interplay is as delightful as the the tweecore instrumentation and even though the running time is longer that most of its ilk it never drags. KD
