We’re thrilled to present The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart on their first Australian tour. Hailing from Brooklyn, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart became one of the year’s most talked about indie pop bands with their self-titled debut album on Slumberland; an instant classic packed with brilliantly-executed pop gems. Drawing on the sparkling legacy of 80s and 90s indie pop, the Pains blend their rush of youthful enthusiasm with crafty arrangements, well-honed tunes and buckets of guitar racket. There is something instantly identifiable about a Pains tune, and it is the essential “rightness” of their records that has captured the attention of pop fans around the world. Their new EP Higher Than The Stars, recently released locally by the Lost & Lonesome Recording Co, is a four-track rush of dream pop with a blissed out dancefloor remix by Saint Etienne. Overflowing with exuberance, charm and songcraft, the Pains breathe new life into indie pop.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are also playing at the Perth Festival
