Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, The - Perfect Right Now: A Slumberland Collection 2008-2010 Color Vinyl Record
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart came out of the late-2000s Brooklyn indie scene with a bright, fuzzy sound that drew on C86, Sarah and Creation Records jangle pop, with a dose of American noise-pop muscle. Their 2009 self-titled debut on Slumberland became a modern indie pop touchstone, and Perfect Right Now: A Slumberland Collection 2008-2010 gathers the songs that surrounded it.
The ten songs collect long out-of-print non-album cuts from the band's early 7-inch singles and splits, all four songs from the 2009 Higher Than The Stars EP, and the 2010 single "Say No To Love," which pointed toward their next chapter. Fan favorites like "Kurt Cobain's Cardigan" and "Ramona" sit next to the EP's shimmering title track, still indie disco staples today.
Slumberland's 2025 reissue is pressed on clear vinyl with yellow and blue splatter and comes with an insert featuring liner notes by frontman Kip Berman and rare photos of the band. A must for anyone who loves jangly, reverb-soaked guitar pop.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
