Fortuna Pop!
What can I say about The Pains of Being Pure at Heart that I haven't already spewed forth into the world? Not a lot really but I'm going to try and conjure up some new feelings towards this most delightful of musical groups.
So lets talk 'Come Saturday' the final single to be lifted from their eponymous debut album; which for me is up there with the best this year has had to offer. 'Come Saturday' is a bristling, up-lifting love-song that's set to a distorted cacophony of fuzz and feedback and you can just picture being bathed in a red warm glow as Kip and Peggy trade lilting boy-girl harmonies in-between Kip's deft, youthful vocals of "Come Saturday, come to stay, you come to stay in my arms". It's a sparkler of a track that for me isn't even the best thing on the debut album but it's a wonderful reminder of what The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are all about. Now I have an urge to go get the album and play it on repeat again as if it's January all over again.
Backed with new track 'Side Ponytail'' bares a striking resemblance to the A-side. I guess it's just that fuzzing sound but 'Side Ponytail' is much more of an 80's style punk track like The Ramones if they were invaded by The Beach Boys and an unnamed female accomplice (I'm struggling with 80's softly spoken female vocalists here!). It's just another slice of the wonder that is The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and I for one cannot get enough.
