James Brown gets a “Best New Music” for The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

The lovely James Brown had a busy year with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.  In January he produced their “Say No To Love” single – I know because I was there and brought the doughnuts.  In February they did overdubs and James mixed the single.  In May James engineered the new album demos.  In June & July he engineered the album with Flood and co-produced the song “Too Young”.

In what is hopefully a sign of reviews to come, Pitchfork gave the new single “Heart In Your Heartbreak” a coveted “Best New Music”.  Rad.  Click here to read the review and listen to the song.
