within a year of releasing their blinding debut album (sure to in rough trade's top 10 of the year), brooklyn's the pains of being pure at heart are back with a brand new ep. indie popsters aren't meant to work this hard, but, in the words of songwriter and vocalist kip berman, 'days off are no fun!'. the beautiful 'higher than the stars' is dream-pop of the highest order, polished to the highest sheen with some additional mixing effort from rob kirwan (editors, u2). recorded by the same team behind the album, with us indie legend archie moore (black tambourine, velocity girl) at the mixing desk, the new tracks were cut before the band's latest tour. besides proving that the album was no fluke - these nuggets of 24-carat pop dripping with the energy and heart that so many music fans have already fallen in love with - they also demonstrate that the pains have far more in their locker than just the three-minute feel-good fuzzy pop song. the limited 7" comes backed with '103' and the others in conversation remix of 'higher than the stars'. 12" one features 3 new b-sides. the cd features the 3 new b sides and the saint etienne remix.
