And your hand's on the wheel Trying hard not to say What you just don't feel - Yeah you just don't feel. Now you're looking away Could you plan an escape From the places you've known Where they know your mistakes? And you wish he would stop And you wish you weren't steel Should you try to do something That you just don't feel? Something's coming But nothing ever does Something's coming You better say no to love. When everything he says is wrong And all you want to feel is gone Go on. When everything he does is wrong And all you want to feel is gone.

Despite being such a streamlined listen, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart acts as something of an indie Rorschach: Once our staff got a hold of the fuzzy, major-chord fizz of "Come Saturday" or "Stay Alive", it raised comparisons to everything from Sleepyhead to Black Tambourine to even Peter Bjorn and John (at their most shoegazy) and Ride (at their most. But then again, sincerity never made me turn up the volume. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart simply made a slyly confident debut that mixes sparkling melodies with an undercurrent of sad bastard mopery, and you're just being a dick if you think the past has some kind of patent on that. That's just the way good pop music works.

There are very few bands that find a way to capture the absolute euphoria of endless, boundless love and affection. Plenty manage to navigate the confusing space between love and infatuation, the infinite battle of reconciling affection and compassion, and find countless new ways to spell the woes of love in turmoil. But as far as I can tell, none can paint a picture of simple and pure bliss like Kip Berman's work as The Pains of Being Pure At Heart
