RCRD LBL

DOWNLOAD: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - A Teenager in Love

We haven’t felt like this about a band in a while. Indie pop has always been a big part of our musical landscape—from the distorted, piercing minor chords first introduced by bands like Primal Srceam and early My Bloody Valentine, to the more sing-along, euphoric aspects of the Darling Buds and the Popguns. Our newest RCRD SELECTOR signing, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, bridge those gaps with a contemporary take on the art of twee pop. They’ve already garnered something of a cult audience in NYC, and their first RCRD LBL single “A Teenager In Love” might be their best work yet. It sounds as if Joe Jackson were hanging out on a yacht with The Strokes, playing a laid-back version of “Someday”—basically the stuff that dreams are made of.
