Their 2009 self-titled debut is rightly considered a classic, and with\u00a0<em>Perfect<\/em>\u00a0<em>Right<\/em>\u00a0<em>Now<\/em>, we&#8217;re thrilled to round out the story of The Pains&#8217; early years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ten tracks here compile the much-loved (and LONG out of print!) b-sides from the 7&#8243;s that accompanied that first album, the follow-up\u00a0\u2018Higher\u00a0Than\u00a0The\u00a0Stars\u2019 EP, a couple of scarce tunes from split singles, and finally <em>Say No To Love<\/em>, a spectacular song that points the way forward to the band&#8217;s next chapter. There are some proper lost classics here, songs like <em> <\/em> and <em>The Pains of Being Pure at Heart<\/em> that still pack the dancefloors at indie discos from G\u00f6teborg to Glasgow and we couldn&#8217;t be more excited to make them available again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll let Kip from the band have the last word: &#8220;<em>Many of these songs, like those that comprised our debut record, were written in that *now* \u2013 making up in wild pop fantasy what we couldn&#8217;t quite yet achieve through musical ability. But even if that *now* is now an irrevocable *then,* I still believe that there is nothing better than making music with your friends and dreaming, as our Myspace page once proclaimed, of &#8216;being the biggest band in the world\u2014to about 18 people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_3521.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_3521.jpeg?resize=900%2C900\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_3521.jpeg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_3521.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_3521.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_3521.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018PERFECT RIGHT NOW\u2019 Track List<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
