The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Since the release of their self-titled debut, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart have had the enviable reputation of being terribly easy to like. With an energy generated by chugging bass lines and rollicking drumbeats, the quickness with which the Brooklyn-based group was embraced by fans, bloggers and critics was well-founded. The band's dynamic is bright and poppy, but with distinct notes of melancholy; the blend is more "rainy day" than maudlin, and more sweet than twee — though the songs never sway too far in either direction. Thanks to its crystalline charm, the group makes even themes of heartbreak and longing delightfully hard to resist.
