Need a pick-me-up? Of course you do, it’s almost Monday. Fortify yourself against the coming work week with some illegally sunny new noise pop from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.

You can read the article later, scroll down and hit play first. Just listen to that…isn’t that just too cheery? Seriously, that could put a pre-heart surgery Grinch in a good mood.

What you’re listening to is “Simple and Sure”, the first single from the upcoming The Pains of Being Pure at Heart release, Days of Abandon. The album, their third release, is slated to come out in April. We last heard from them in 2011, when they released the dreamy Belong LP. Good to see them back in the studio again.

Like what you hear? Start sniffing for tickets – the band’s Spring tour kicks off in just a few more days in Baltimore and covers one whole heck of a lot of North American ground.
