The Pains of Being Pure At Heart exploded out of the late 00s Brooklyn indie scene with a bright,
distinctive sound that paid tribute to everything from C86 to early Slumberland, Sarah and
Creation label pop, but with a distinct American flavor drawn from groups like Smashing
Pumpkins and The Exploding Hearts. Their 2009 self-titled debut is rightly considered a classic,
and with Perfect Right Now we're thrilled to round out the story of The Pains' early years.

The ten tracks here compile the much-loved (and LONG out of print!) b-sides from the 7"s that
panied that first album, the follow-up Higher Than The Stars EP, a couple of scarce tunes
split singles, and finally "Say No To Love," a spectacular tune that points the way forward to
and's next chapter. These are some proper lost classics, songs like "Kurt Cobain's Cardigan,”
“Side Ponytail” and "The Pains of Being Pure at Heart" that still pack the dancefloors at indie discos.
