New Pains of Being Pure at Heart

painsI’ve really been enjoying the new album from Pains of Being Pure at Heart.  I’ll tell you now that it looks back at the old days of the band without a sense of regret, doing it with a fresh face, and a bit of a fresh sound.  Groups can’t stay in one space for too long, so it’s no surprise that Kip’s cleaned up the guitars, opening up to a brighter pop sound on this go round.  You know what? It still sounds really damn good, illustrating how great a songwriter Berman actually is.  The new album is titled Days of Abandon, and you’ll be able to hear all the songs on May 13th.
