This is the first, self-titled full length by THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART. A lot of people call them a shoegaze band, but to me they're much more power pop - or just plain indie rock if you want. I didn't see them staring at their pedals at their shows at least, and their songs are way too uptempo. A really great band though, and a lovely album for that matter. Arguably the best indie album of 2009.
The singles lifted from this album all have the same cover by the way, but in different colours. Nice idea.
