The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - s/t

[Sauerkraut]

Some shoegazing goodness that deserves to be discussed here.

[whisperit]

Yep, they are really nice.
Can't wait to see them live 

thanks for all your other recommendations, will check them later!

[valley_parade]

Digging this album a LOT.

[daydreamdelay]

yep, fantastic band... I can't wait to see them next month 

[PorkyPrimeCut]

Woah. Talk about early MBV influenced!!

[panoramic]

oldy mcphogersons like me will note that Archie from Velocity Girl clearly produced this record, I have it and like half of it, some of it is just too "TWEE" for me to swallow

[peterherman]

I was discussing this record with a drummer/producer friend the other day.
We agreed that it sounded way too much like early MBV to enjoy and that it seems like Pitchfork is being run by people who don't know the history of the musical styles they're reviewing if they're that flipped out over this record.

But we're a pair of old codgers who hate fun, so take all that with appropriate amounts of salt.

I dig the cd, it does get kind of twee from time to time, but thats alright with me.

From their 4 songs on their myspace id say some JAMC some MBV..

I dig.. maybe a little too pop fer me, but better than a lot of similar such stuff..

old codgers only like minor chords and spaced out stoner jams

[daydreamdelay]

I'm a sucker for bands who continue a sound I love.. only so many times you can listen to that same album, I like a fresh take. I love minor chords and spaced out jams too though, hmmm... why the fuck can't we old codgers have both?

A true old codger strikes down that which has been done too well in the past, it would be like a new version of new order getting big, makes no sense.
We only seek to marginalize all that we used to love.

stoner rock and minor chords rule -- oops i just fell and i can't get up!

[cestlamort]

I like it a lot.  Reminds me of the Field Mice, but not so hopelessly wimpy.
