New York indie pop outfit the Pains of Being Pure at Heart have announced a new EP. Titled Hell, it'll be out November 13 via Painbow. They've also shared it's first track, a cover of "Laid" by James. Hear it above, and scroll down for the EP tracklist (which also includes a cover of Felt's "Ballad of The Band").
Talking about the EP, the band's Kip Berman wrote in a press release:
A couple months ago I posted a demo for the song “Hell” and some people said, “why don’t you record that for real?” So we went over to my friend Danny’s studio (House Under Magic) and recorded the track along with two cover songs - “Ballad of the Band” by Felt and “Laid” by James as a way to mark our forthcoming tour of Japan. The latter has lead vocals by Jen Goma, who sang on our last album and also performs with the excellent pop contortionists, A Sunny Day in Glasgow. The Felt song is really the UR-Felt song, the wry articulation of what Felt is most famous for - not being an eighth as famous as they ought to be.
The song “Hell” is about how insufferable performances of sensitivity are when there’s a good song playing and someone you want to dance with.
