The Echo Of Pleasure on CD

2017 release. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have long set the benchmark for big-hearted, idealistic pop songs. With The Echo of Pleasure, The Pains push beyond their many inspirations and embrace their role as indie pop heroes in their own right. Showcasing the deft songwriting of frontman Kip Berman, The Pains' fourth album is their most confident and accomplished. After three critically-acclaimed records, 2009's The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, 2011's Belong, and 2014's Days of Abandon received praise from The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Guardian and Rolling Stone, they have put together a collection of songs that possess a timeless grandeur, deeper and more satisfying than anything the band has done since their iconic debut.
