Pitchfork.tv: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart: "Everything With You" [Video Premiere]

An iffy economy, a war in Iraq, and a Democrat returning to the White House aren't all the late 2000s have in common with the early 1990s. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart's "Everything With You" is the type of melodic, love-blissed noise-pop single that could have come out on Slumberland years ago, but instead it's taken from the New York four-piece's forthcoming full-length debut for the label. The video, too, recalls an era when handheld camcorders rather than cell phones and digital cameras were the most convenient way of making home videos. Directed by Art Boonparn, it follows two likable young women goofing around and having adventures. In indie pop, it's always OK to have a best friend.
