The Pains of Being Pure At Heart exploded out of the late 00s Brooklyn indie scene with a bright, distinctive sound that paid tribute to everything from C86 to early Slumberland, Sarah and Creation label pop, but with a distinct American flavor drawn from groups like Smashing Pumpkins and The Exploding Hearts. Their 2009 self-titled debut is rightly considered a classic, and with Perfect Right Now we’re thrilled to round out the story of The Pains’ early years.

The ten tracks here compile the much-loved (and LONG out of print!) b-sides from the 7″s that accompanied that first album, the follow-up Higher Than The Stars EP, a couple of scarce tunes from split singles, and finally “Say No To Love,” a spectacular tune that points the way forward to the band’s next chapter. These are some proper lost classics, songs like “Kurt Cobain’s Cardigan,” “Side Ponytail” and “The Pains of Being Pure at Heart” that still pack the dancefloors at indie discos from Göteborg to Glasgow and beyond. We couldn’t be more excited to make them available again in this fine package that includes liner notes by the band’s Kip Berman and rarely-seen pictures from the group’s early days. Perfect right now indeed!
