What happened after Pure X released their widely acclaimed debut album Pleasure? Did the Austin electronic pop group go into hiding for fear of unhinged bloggers attacking them in a crazed state of fandom? Okay, so there have been a few select shows, but in general things have been pretty hush on the Pure X front. Until now. When the group resurfaced with a killer new single, “Things In My Mind,” announced for a May 14th release. Hey, the group even joined Facebook… this Tuesday. That is not a joke. So what have we learned? A group can ignore the mainstream media, ignore the public, ignore the music community, even ignore the adoring bloggers who so lavishly praise them and still generate buzz. So I guess that means the music actually triumphs. I think that’s a win. Good job, Pure X, for teaching us a lesson about the good music-loving part that lives deep inside each of us. Stream “Things In My Head” below.
