The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart is an indie pop band from New York City, founded in 2007. The live members of the band include Jessica Weiss, Jacob Sloan, Anton Hochheim, and Christoph Hochheim.

In a recent Facebook post, Kip Berman, the founder of the band, announced his departure from The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart to focus on his new project called The Natvral. This decision comes after significant life changes and a shift in musical direction. Despite different lineups throughout their career, what animated their music remained consistent until now. With this change, Kip aims to express himself in a new and different way.

While Kip pursues his solo endeavor with The Natvral, other former members have also embarked on various projects such as Massage by Alex Naidus, Store Front by Peggy Wang, The Ice Choir / Tenser Timpani by Kurt Feldman, Ablebody + live performances with Jerry Paper by Christoph Hochheim, Dondadi by Connor Hanwick, Jeanines / Dream Diary by Jacob Sloan,
Beverly / Public Practice by Drew Citron,

Showtime Goma by Jen Goma,
Fear of Men by Jess Weiss,

New Additions

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. There are some proper lost classics here, songs like "Kurt Cobain's Cardigan" and "The Pains of Being Pure at Heart" that still pack the dancefloors at indie discos from Göteborg to Glasgow and we couldn't be more excited to make them available again.
