Split Works is delighted to announce that Brooklyn indie darlings the Pains of Being Pure at Heart will play their first-ever China shows in February 2012.

Signed to the acclaimed American indie label Slumberland— home to Stereolab, Black Tambourine and the Crystal Stilts—the Pains of Being Pure at Heart burst onto the Brooklyn scene of the late 2000s first with their self-released EP and then their self-titled first album on Slumberland, which attracted praise from the likes of the New York Times (“sensitive and sublime”; Best of 2009), Stereogum (“additive pop gold”; Best of 2009) and Pitchfork (Best New Music, Best of 2009).
Following 2010’s Higher Than the Stars EP, 2011 saw the Pains release a sophomore album that distilled the best pop sensibilities of their previous work with driving keyboard lines, more fuzz and bigger riffs into a delicately menacing masterwork called, fittingly, Belong. There is no doubt in fans’ and music industry insiders’ minds that the Pains of Being Pure Heart belong in the indie pop pantheon of the future.

乐队简介:
他们是来自纽约的四个年轻人,被国内乐迷们爱称为“澈心之痛”。The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart 把怀旧校园情节用青春十足的音乐重现,成为近年独立乐界不可或缺的新鲜血液。
乐队首张同名专辑是一次无可挑剔的亮相,展现出了与成员们年龄不符的成熟,并一举获得当年“全美最热十大新人唱片之一”的头衔。除了轻而易举地在风和日暖的旋律中注入了青春活力,乐队还善于发扬前辈们的光和热。 八九十年代的音乐元素从他们那让人艳羡的年少不羁中渗出,Jesus and Mary Chain和 My Bloody Valentine都是让人们从这支年轻乐队身上联想到的名字。短短两三年间,“澈心之痛”俨然已经成为“花草派Shoegaze”乐队的代名词,更是年轻一辈音乐爱好者不能不知道的名字。

在那张让人备感欣喜惊奇的处子专辑之后,乐队的第二张专辑《Belong》终于在2011年发行。其强大的幕后阵容是金牌制作人Flood和Alan Moulder (正是他们打造出了Depeche Mode和PJ Harvey的经典),两人看中了The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart的潜力特质为新专辑倾其心力。乐队招牌式的明快节奏加上日渐成熟的曲风把握,让他们摆脱了不少新晋乐团“一招鲜”的命运,得到了蜂拥而至的好评。
说起“澈心之痛”的现场,刚经历过他们演出的台北歌迷恐怕最有发言权。主唱Kip Berman有着邻家男孩讨喜的面庞,看似内向但在台上却不失疯狂;而台裔键盘手兼和声Peggy Wang 是乐团另一个可爱的存在,和乐迷亲切的互动拉近了不少距离。
我们很高兴宣布The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart即将来华的消息。他们将于2012年2月24日、25日在北京、上海为两地乐迷献上别有趣致的演出,同时这也是Split Works在三月的“觉”艺术+音乐节前为乐迷献上的预热甜点。至于现场表演与录音室作品有多大的不同,《The Body》《Stay Alive》等耳熟能详的曲目重现时会有多么地让人心潮澎湃,还需要你置身实地来领教一番!
