It's not hard to see why 2011 has been such a successful year for Brooklyn-based quartet The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Their second album Belong, was released earlier this year to critical acclaim and is the perfect mix of melancholic vocals and moody bass lines to act as your summer soundtrack.

Heading to Australia as part of the Laneways Festival, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart will also be playing Sydney and Melbourne sideshows.
