„(..) das beste Brit-Pop-Album seit „Strangeways Here We Come“ von den Smiths oder Oasis´ „(What´s The Story) Morning Glory?” – "Eclipsed" (8/10 Punkten)

Einem Urteil, dem wir uns nur all zu gern beugen wollen, auch wenn das hier in Rede gestellte Brit-Pop-Album von einer Band aus New York fabriziert wurde. Was am britischen Sound und an der damit verbundenen Qualitätsaussage nichts ändert…

Doch nicht nur bei der "Eclipsed" sind THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART derzeit groß angesagt. Ihr selbstbetiteltes Debütalbum koppelt auf imposante Weise jugendliche Unbekümmertheit mit einem erstaunlich hohen Grad an Reife. Das Resultat sind 10 feinfühlige Indie-Pop-Hymnen, die sich sanft an der Schulter der Shoegaze Ikonen von MY BLOODY VALENTINE anlehnen, dabei allerdings gekonnt der Versuchung widerstehen, dem Gegenüber allzu ähnlich zu sehen.

„Zu 'This Love Is Fucking Right!' möchte man die Welt umarmen, bei “A Teenager In Love” am liebsten alle Vertreter des jeweils anderen Geschlechts – und dass dieses das längst nicht immer wert ist, hat man bei diesen kübelweise Glückshormone ausschüttenden Songs schon längst vergessen.“ - "Sonic Seducer"

Dass die Band im Kerzenschein belichteten Wohnzimmer Alleingelassener genauso gut funktioniert wie im frenetischen Zuschauer-Pulk, davon kann man sich im Juni überzeugen, wenn THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART bei einigen Konzertauftritten in Deutschland ihre Duftmarke hinterlassen. Hier die Daten:

If Stephen Pastel actually threw Aggi off the bridge and married Black Tambourine's Pam Berry and had four babies that formed a pop band.

Meet The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, a New York four-piece who plays dreamy, noisy POP with boy/girl vocals, blissful melodies and blistering drums.

My infallible love for The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart is no secret at all. I think I summed it up to the best of my cheesy abilities in the fanzine included with their Atomic Beat split 7" earlier this year. What they're doing is beautiful and perfect and wonderfully genuine – AND not to mention – totally fucking consistent! Have they got a bad song? Nope. And they probably never will as long as they keep moving in the direction they're headed in. Their new single "Everything With You" is the perfect noisy pop song. Kip and Peggy's vocal harmonies sound gorgeous floating above the ringing guitar wash and OH HEY SOLO! "Everything With You" is the first single from their previously mentioned debut LP and will be out on the mighty Slumberland Records (US) and Fortuna POP (UK) in the fall. BUT! You can go hear it right now streaming on the Pobpah MySpace and bask in it's life-affirming fantasticness! God I love pop songs.

Pitchfork - Best New Music
Songs that will appeal beyond the confines of subcultures: Anyone with a weakness for trebly, melancholy pop music will find a lot to like about this record.

Chicago Reader
"Their recent Slumberland debut is nearly flawless: rife with urgency and big hooks that keen and carom through epic guitar fuzz."

The Yellow Stereo- "Everything With You"
The single just screams for continuous replay, as the catchy boy/girl harmonies wonderfully gel with the jangly, distorted guitars that echoes early My Bloody Valentine and Black Tambourine. There’s also this guitar solo near the end of the song that completely rocked my face off, considering i’ve never heard anything of the ilk since possibly the 90s (no joke, no one does solos like this anymore).
