Pure.

Not to get all naus-talgic, but nothing puts a smile on my face like great music coming straight outta home sweet NYC. I guess that explains why I've been particularly smiley ever since The Pains of Being Pure At Heart released their self-titled debut. They've got a bit of Peter, Bjorn, and John, a bit of Blur in the edges, but a sound that seems to supercede any singular comparison. The only all encompassing remark that seems fitting is that their melodies have a way of melting into a fuzzy pop oblivion of distorted guitars that sounds like awesome and feels like summer. Guy/Girl vocal fans should pay particular attention. Ch-ch-check it out.
