The Pains of Being Pure at Heart released one of the first truly great records of 2009, as heaps of praise have been showered over the band from all corners, including yours truly. After kicking off a tour in early February in support of the record, the band have added a substantial number of additional tour dates, which include many appearances at SXSW and the Pitchfork Music Festival.
Now for us around the Atlanta-area, we would originally be seeing them on the 13th of this month, but due to some unfortunate circumstances, the band had to reschedule the date for May 3rd. It’s a bummer, but I’d like to think I’m patient enough to wait a little while longer to finally see them in person.
In addition to the new tour dates, Slumberland have announced the release of a new 7″ single for what I would consider is arguably one of the best tracks on the record, “Young Adult Friction,” a song that I absolutely loved in a previous post that you can read if you wish. It’ll be released on Mar. 31st, along with a new 7″ from fellow Brooklyn natives Crystal Stilts. Both of which you can listen to below as they’ve been made available as MP3s. Tour dates can be viewed after the cut.
