We know, we know... "Say No to Love" isn't a brand new song from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. However, the late 00's heroes are reuniting for some shows and have announced a B-sides album. "Say No to Love" comes from that collection. If you already love the emo-inflected indie rock and dream pop of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, you're going to adore this song, which you may already know. It's catchy and hazy and everything we love from the band. It's much more of a pop song than I ever would have admitted back in 2009, but that fantastic sound that blurs the lines of indie rock and pop. Now let's just hope that their reunion tour makes it to the States...
Kip Berman says of the band's upcoming B-sides compilation:
"Many of these songs, like those that comprised our debut record, were written in that *now* – making up in wild pop fantasy what we couldn't quite yet achieve through musical ability. But even if that *now* is now an irrevocable *then,* I still believe that there is nothing better than making music with your friends and dreaming, as our Myspace page once proclaimed, of 'being the biggest band in the world—to about 18 people.'"
