Standing on the foreground of America’s indie scene the band have been praised as one of the best indie-pop bands since the late 2000’s. There’s a crisp, effervescent gallop, splitting its time between dreamy balladry and spotless indie-pop, their songs are expansive and immersive, where their sound is massive enough to match its big-hearted emotion.

The Pains’ fourth album is their most confident and accomplished. After three critically-acclaimed records, 2009’s The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, 2011’s Belong and 2014’s Days of Abandon received praise from The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Guardian and Rolling Stone, they have put together a collection of songs that possess a timeless grandeur, deeper and more satisfying than anything the band has done since their iconic debut.
