Song of the Day: Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Heart in Your Heartbreak

Posted on

Toronto – The last time I saw Pains of Being Pure at Heart, their monitor went on fire and they had to cut their show short. However, they have been making amends ever since. The band released an excellent sophomore effort – Belong – and have been touring the world since. They played the last official in-house show at Sonic Boom yesterday, and they are playing Opera House tonight for those who want to financially contribute to the band’s success.

I’ve always been fascinated by their live show. On album, their melodies and light vocal deliveries shine, whereas their live shows resemble a lighter less expensive version of a My Bloody Valentine show. Regardless of delivery, this song is one of the standout tracks from this album. Catchy in all the right places, Heart in Your Heartbreak is a perfect example of all the tools that this Brooklyn band is blessed with.

They are at Opera House tonight
