Fresh out of the oven, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s new album The Echo of Pleasure represents a new period in the life of its founding songwriter and frontman, Kip Berman, who recently became a father.

Like other albums in part inspired by the experience of parenting, The Echo of Pleasure portrays a journey into the unknown – with lyrics like “I don’t know how I’ll make money / Just want enough so you never have to worry” – while being faithful to the Brooklyn band’s indie pop formula. The group has been releasing almost rite-of-passage tunes since its formation in 2007.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart is currently on tour and will be visiting Barcelona on Friday, October 20^th, along with supporting artists Apartamentos Acapulco.
