Belong is the second studio album from New York indie band The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.[1] It is set to be released on March 29, 2011 through Slumberland Records. The album was recorded in the fall of 2010 after extensive touring in support of the band's debut album, was produced by Flood, and was mixed by Alan Moulder.[2]

Background

[edit]

In an interview with Pitchfork, vocalist/guitarist Kip Berman explained that the band "wanted the songs to exist in an immediate and instinctual place. The album sounds like we're taking away what we were hiding behind before. Lyrically, the first record had a lot of remembered experiences that I was looking back on and trying to make more clever, which can sound contrived. I like the idea of lyrics that don't get beyond themselves but catch you and make an impression. I think that's more emotionally compelling."

The album's release will be followed by a national tour, supported by indie pop/electronic artist Twin Shadow.
