- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
New York-based musicians Alex Naidus (bass), Kip Berman (guitar/vocals), Kurt
Feldman (drums), and Peggy Wang-East (keyboards/vocals) came together to form
the Pains of Being Pure at Heart in 2007. With its wall-of-fuzz guitar
stylings and sugary pop underpinnings, the band nodded to any number of
old-school indie pop and shoegaze acts, most notably Black Tambourine and My
Bloody Valentine. The band recorded a few tracks soon after forming, which
were released as a self-titled 3" CD-R on Cloudberry Records. A self-titled
EP followed soon after for Painbow. During 2008 the band released a number of
limited-edition split singles on Atomic Beat Records and Slumberland. Their
first album, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, was released in February of
2009 on Slumberland and the good reviews and positive press (including a spot
on Late Night with Carson Daly) made them one of the most talked about bands
of early 2009.
