Among The Dust & The Microfiche

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart formed in Brooklyn in 2007, part of it's ever fertile pop scene. But don't let that Brooklyn reference put you off, Pains Of write gorgeous drowsy indie pop that could be as at home in the hazy streets of northern England as in NY's hippest borough. To me, Pains Of seem to draw together the timeless romanticism of Belle & Sebastian in their lyrics, with the shoegaze hum of My Bloody Valentine. Put simply, you'll absolutely fall in love with their delicious pop sensibilities and delicate imagery.

The band return to the UK in May to perform at Great Escape and Dot To Dot, as well as on a small national tour, dates on their myspace. To support that tour they release the dangerously infectious Young Adult Friction on May 18th, which we've got for you to download free courtesy of Force Field PR. Also embedded below is the charming little video, perfect.
