The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Using their wall-of-fuzz guitar stylings and sugary pop underpinnings, the Pains to be Pure in mind nodded to a variety of old-school indie pop and shoegaze acts, especially Black Tambourine and My Bloody Valentine. New York-based music artists Alex Naidus (bass), Kip Berman (acoustic guitar/vocals), Kurt Feldman (drums), and Peggy Wang (keyboards/vocals) arrived together to create the Pains to be Pure in mind in 2007. The music group recorded several tracks immediately after forming, that have been released like a self-titled 3″ CD-R on Cloudberry Information. A self-titled EP adopted immediately after for Painbow. During 2008 the music group released several limited-edition break up singles on Atomic Defeat Information and Slumberland. Their 1st album, The Discomfort to be Pure in mind, premiered in Feb of 2009 on Slumberland, and the nice evaluations and positive press (including an area on NIGHT TIME with Carson Daly) produced them probably one of the most talked-about rings of early 2009. Following the launch of the summertime 2010 single State No to Like, legendary producers Overflow (Smashing Pumpkins) and Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine) had been hired to provide the music group a slicker, better sound. The ensuing album, Belong, premiered by Slumberland in March of 2011. After touring their second recording, the Pains to be Pure in mind returned towards the U.S. and Berman started writing new materials for his or her third album. Using the departure of unique keyboardist Peggy Wang and bassist Alex Naidus, Berman brought jointly a refreshed line-up — which highlighted A SUNSHINEY DAY in Glasgow’s Jen Goma and brass participant Kelly Pratt alongside Feldman — to record the record with Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine, Sigur Rós). The causing Days of Give up on premiered by their brand-new label, Yebo Music, in 2014.
