The apprehension with which i hold the future of the Pains of Being Pure at Heart can be shared with Shrag. Except it is not so much a feeling of dread in this case. Quite the converse. I have near-complete confidence that everything they ever do will be just as fantastic as everything they have ever done. So why the apprehension? They are just the two bands in the world i love, am abreast of, excite me, and want very much to keep on my side (yes, the only two…). It is that want, and (no matter how assured i am) the unshakable pessimism with which i hold everything that feeds my apprehension. Imagine living like this…
In Shrag’s case, everything will be fine. If Grass Widow did not exist, this would have been the best thing released last year.
