Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Pains of Being Pure at Heart

This album is undeniably good.  I don't know what to say honestly.  It's like if you put My Bloody Valentine and an indie pop band like The Shins or Belle & Sebastian together.  So far, I like Track 5, Tenure Itch the best but the whole album is just really catchy, fuzzy, and fresh.  This will be one of the best albums to come out in 2009 and people are going to start talking about this band very soon.  They already have tons of great reviews so don't just take it from me.  They are touring with Depreciation Guild along the east coast including a Washington, D.C. stop and a Baltimore gig.  If you don't like this album and you like the Smiths or other 80s pop, you are listening to it wrong.

I've yet to hear this band, which i find hard to believe since I've seen their name a dozen times. But this post somehow makes me want to go listen to them now.
