The Pains of Being Pure At Heart share two previously unreleased demos
The band recorded ‘Hell’ and ‘A Light’ during sessions for their third album ‘Days Of Abandon’
The Pains of Being Pure At Heart have shared two previously unreleased demos online. ‘Hell’ and ‘A Light’ were both recorded during sessions for the band’s third album ‘Days Of Abandon,’ which they released last year.
According to frontman Kip Berman, the band “just found 50+ old demos” lying about, and chose to put out these two on Soundcloud. Though there’s no official release planned, the soundcloud upload features artwork with the title ‘Demos of Abandon 2011-2013’. It could point towards a larger release of outtakes that didn’t quite make the cut.
