You can click below to get a taste of the new album with the new song and track listing. Acclaimed producer Andy Savours and veteran to the game, who has worked with the likes of The Killers and My Bloody Valentine, joined The Pains of Being Pure at Heart team to make the forthcoming album.
“The logistics of it were so different. When I recorded the record, my wife was six months pregnant. We only had a limited amount of time. There was an absolute uncertainty hanging over our heads, but it was also a kind of escape from worry for that time,” he said. “What’s going to happen when I have a kid? Am I going to be able to go on tour? Is this the last record I’m going to get to make? It’s not a bad thing to be worried when you’re expecting this huge transition of life. If you didn’t feel scared, you’re probably not feeling the right emotion. I tried to make the best record I could, knowing it might be the last time.”
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are going on tour this summer across North America and Spain so head to their website to find more information.
