The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – Days Of Abandon (Yebo)

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – Days Of Abandon (Yebo)

As genres go, indie-pop has long had the market cornered on longing. And whether Kip Berman is anticipating a future romance (“Simple And Sure”) or mourning a past one (“Eurydice”), he channels that longing more magically than anybody in the game. Days Of Abandon is mostly a step back in scale from Belong’s attempt at stadium status, yet these songs still feel like brightly glimmering worlds to themselves. –Chris [LISTEN]
