The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Gothenburg Handshake (Demo)

(Painbow Records, 2015) [USA]

A demo version of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart song 'Gothenburg Handshake'. I believe it originally came out in 2009 on the Japanese release of their debut album, but the band later re-released it as a mp3 single in 2015. I love how Japanese releases of albums/CDs almost always include exclusive bonus tracks!

First EP from NYC group The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. The record pretty much pays homage to early Sarah Records band like The Field Mice or even My Bloody Valentine. Wonderful indie pop.
