The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

The Pains offer up their sugary-sweet take on the James classic “Laid”. It’ll be on their forthcoming Hell EP, along with a Felt cover and an original.

Truth be told, I’m not entirely certain why Pains… always strikes a chord with me. There’s a ton of bands making arty, slightly shoegazey indie rock, but something about their guitar tones and vocals always hits a nice, fuzzy, warm spot in my brain. “Kelly” is one of the finest examples of what they do well.
