New EP titled ‘Higher Than the Stars’ from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Didn’t think I would miss any news on The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, as I think I’ve talked them up here on TYS more than any other band this year. I think it’s no secret to anyone now how good their debut album is, so no need to harp on any of that I hope. Now, with the band being constantly on tour since the beginning of the year, I wasn’t expecting to hear any new songs, but a brand new EP? I couldn’t be more excited about this news!
I remember talking to Kip while at SXSW and he mentioned a new single that was supposed to be released on Slumberland, a song which I imagine has become a staple at their live shows called “Falling Over” — a video of which I recorded during one of their many sets in Austin. It seems to have made its way onto the four-song EP which is titled Higher Than the Stars, which will be out on the aformentioned Slumberland on September 22nd.
Pitchfork premiered an exclusive stream of the title track, and it finds the group ditching their trademark distorted guitar-pop for…uh…shimmering guitar-pop. Kips blissful vocals sound better than ever, and this just proves how much better the band has become over a short period of time.
