The Pains of Being Pure at Heart announce new single


The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have announced a new single, “Say No To Love”, which will be released on Slumberland on June 8. The B-side will be “Lost Saint”. The single will have its UK release on Fortuna Pop, but at the time of writing, we’re not sure if the two labels will release it on the same day. The Pains will go on a 2 week US tour this summer together with Surfer Blood and Hooray For Earth, both very good bands. The follow-up to their much acclaimed debut will be recorded soon after the tour. Kip from TPoBPaH says this about the sound of the single:

“In many ways, “Say No to Love” is pretty Pains-by-numbers. It’s got 3 chords, a fuzz pedal and lots of feelings. But instead of recording in the basement like we did for our album and both EPs, we recorded in an actual studio (Stratosphere Sound in New York). We tried hard to make it sound, as Peggy would say, “life affirming” and we’re pretty excited about how it turned out. We hope you are too.”
