As far as i’m concerned, this week’s releases begins and ends with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s debut. I’ve been pretty vocal about how great this band is over the past year or so, and after several singles and EPs, this album doesn’t disappoint in the slightest. You won’t hear a better pure indiepop album this year, so I recommend you pick this one up immediately. If you want to get a little more familiar with the band, read the interview I did with them a couple of weeks ago!
Of course, there are other great albums to be had, but it’s obvious where my bias lies this week. A couple that i’ve enjoyed to some extent include new stuff from Heartless Bastards, Ben Kweller, Howlies, Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele, and The Von Bondies.
As always, feel free to recommend anything we may have missed!
