The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are back with their new EP, ‘Hell’ will be out on November 13, 2015 via Painbow. You can take a listen to the title track via Soundcloud below.
“A couple months ago I posted a demo for the song Hell and some people said, “why don’t you record that for real?” So we went over to my friend Danny’s studio (House Under Magic) and recorded the track along with two cover songs – Ballad of the Band by Felt and Laid by James as a way to mark our forthcoming tour of Japan. The latter has lead vocals by Jen Goma, who sang on our last album and also performs with the excellent pop contortionists, A Sunny Day in Glasgow. The Felt song is really the UR-Felt song, the wry articulation of what Felt is most famous for – not being an eighth as famous as they ought to be.
The song Hell is about how insufferable performances of sensitivity are when there’s a good song playing and someone you want to dance with.” – Kip
