The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

A couple of people independently mentioned this band to me, both in a 'I only kinda like it but you'll probably like it more' kind of way. Anyway, it's the sort of concoction that could've been calculated to appeal to me, equal parts JAMC fuzz and C86 jangle and tunesmithery, with a dash of mid-to-late (ie, Wish-era) Cure-esque guitar sensibility, and I do quite like it, though it wears its influences perhaps a bit too much a bit on its sleeve, while being perhaps a bit too clean-nosed about it, to really make an impact on me.
