 The fears that the group wants to leave behind their beginnings for more 'mainstream' paths have become reality and one feels less soul and more brain in every single song.

 'Belong' is an album that does not shy away from twee melodies or dreamy atmospheres but incorporates elements of grunge and American college rock.

Belong, the second album by The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, mixes their signature twee pop with grunge and American college rock influences. Produced by Flood and Alan Moulder, the album strives for mainstream appeal but partially loses the Indie charm that defined their debut. While it features strong melodies and dreamy atmospheres, some arrangements feel out of place, resulting in a less captivating experience. Nonetheless, the band still demonstrates songwriting ability, though the direction signals a shift toward a more calculated sound. Listen to Belong and explore how The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart blend indie charm with mainstream sounds.
