The self-titled debut (pieced together from a string of singles dating back to 2007 as well as new tracks) from New York's The Pains of Being Pure At Heart was very well received upon it's release earlier this year and will come as no surprise when it appears on various publications' "Best Of 2009" lists. Higher Than the Stars, a recently released EP, works as a nice companion piece to the self-titled LP. Other than the remixed version of "Higher Than the Stars" (which at seven minutes just becomes repetitive and boring), TPOBPAH continued to write catchy shoegaze-inspired pop ditties with this EP (all the while wishing oh-so-dearly that they were English).
