The pleasures of this self-titled debut are so obvious, The D Man isn't sure there is much to discuss. With echoes of The Smiths, The Pastels, or early My Bloody Valentine, the Brooklyn band's first album is fuzzed-out dream pop that may make more than a few heads explode with giddiness. If you've been missing chimey guitars circa 1989, you may have to sit down at the 2:05 mark during "Everything With You." If you can't stop from bouncing around to uplifting shoegaze anthems, you may want to grab onto something before you listen to "Young Adult Friction." When considering that in 2009 the band also released an equally pleasing EP, Higher Than The Stars, there is little wonder how The Pains of Being Pure At Heart ended up finding the soft spot in the The D Man's . . . well, you get the idea.
