Brooklyn-based indie-pop quartet The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have announced details of a new remix EP entitled ‘Acid Reflex’, which is due to be released exclusively for this year’s Record Store Day on Saturday 21st April. The EP features four songs from the band’s 2011 album ‘Belong’ that have been remixed by artists including St Etienne, Twin Shadow and Washed Out. All four songs are available to listen to below.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are currently on a tour of Southeast Asia, which will be followed by a one-off date at London’s O2 Academy Islington next week – see below for details and tickets.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s second album ‘Belong’ was released last year to widespread acclaim. It followed the band’s eponymous 2009 debut. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart recorded ‘Belong’ with producer Flood and mixer Alan Moulder, who have previously worked together on Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness’ and The Killers’ second album ‘Sam’s Town’.
Speaking about the album, singer and guitarist Kip Berman said: “We never stopped believing in noise and pop, but now we've pushed both further. Compared to the last record, it's far more visceral, more vital, more of the body. It's about feeling, not feelings.”
