Pains Of Being Pure At Heart Rock!

BuzzFeed's own Peggy Wang is in a band, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, which gets a glowing review today in the New York Times — it even singles out her “high harmonies,” which “when faintly whispered, added necessary texture. So did her synthesizer, which was smooth and glassy on 'Young Adult Friction' and needling and whiny on 'The Tenure Itch.'” Go Peggy!!! I was at this show and can say that Jon Caramanica's review is totally right on. If you live near Austin, Los Angeles, anywhere in the Northeast or Europe, or will be in those areas in the next few months, you should go see them live as soon as you possibly can.

  • It's really weird to see this band popping up everywhere since they asked me to use one of my photos as their album cover around two years ago! None the less, they are extremely good. I'm glad they are getting the attention they deserve.
