The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart Is Back In Stock, This Time On Eco Vinyl

Some records earn the word classic without needing much of an argument. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s self titled 2009 debut is one of them, a fuzzed out, hook heavy record that took the C86 and Creation era pop tradition and ran it through a distinctly American filter. Sixteen years later it still sounds fresh.

The good news is it’s back in stock, now pressed on bio sourced black eco vinyl in an FSC certified recycled jacket. Same record, same songs, just a more sustainable way of getting it onto your shelf.

Slumberland Records have it available now, and if you somehow missed this one the first time around, there’s genuinely no better entry point into what this whole corner of indiepop is about. It’s melodic, scrappy, and completely unpretentious about being both.

Records like this tend to dip in and out of stock rather than staying available forever, so it’s worth grabbing while it’s there instead of waiting and paying a reseller markup later. If you’d rather we told you the moment things like this go back in stock, that’s exactly what our free newsletter does.
