The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s third album, ‘Days of Abandon,’ was released on May 13 via Yebo in North America and Fierce Panda in the UK/EU on June 2. Check out the video for the latest single lifted from the album, Until The Sun Explodes, via YouTube below.

The album was recorded at new Greenpoint studio House Under Magic, which is owned by longtime friend to the band, Danny Taylor (ZaZa). It was produced by Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine, Patrick Wolf, Cloud Boat) and mixed by Charlie Hugall at London’s Engine Room (Swim Deep, Florence And the Machine).

“This album was a chance to push beyond Belong‘s universal style of songwriting into something that was far more personal and true to my ideals,” says Kip Berman. “I wanted the music to be joyful, lush and full of possibility, even if the subjects were often more painful to confront.”

The album artwork features the work of newly celebrated South Korean artist Lee Jinju’s work The Material of Mind.
