The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Higher Than The Stars EP
Not many bands can follow up one of the best albums of the year (and a debut album at that) with an EP of brand new material only months later. And the tracks on Higher Than The Stars arguably surpasses their eponymous first album with a much cleaner production revealing that, behind all the noise, hype and claims of over-influence, TPOBPAT are actually making some of the best indie pop music on the planet right now. Bring on 2010.
