New Video: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

From Stereogum:

Kip Berman’s Brooklyn indie-pop group the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart have been away for a while, but they’re back this spring with their new album Days Of Abandon, and first single “Simple And Sure” is an absolute ray of sunshine. The song’s new BANGS-directed video is built on the idea of live-action animated gifs, with the guests at a fancy banquet acting out various domestic dramas by keeping their bodies on real-time loops. Things take a few unexpected turns toward the end. Check it out below.

This track, along with the BTE track from yesterday, are both simply infectious. And spring like. If it were spring and not snowing...
