Kurt Feldman (born January 29, 1984) is an American musician, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in New York City, United States.
Initially a trio, Feldman was recruited by roommate and the Pains of Being Pure at Heart's frontman Kip Berman as the fourth member in 2007.
He served as the band's drummer until 2014, having contributed to their first three studio albums and toured extensively in North and South America, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia as well as New Zealand.
Towards the end of the Depreciation Guild, Feldman began writing music without any of the NES programming of the band's previous works, and the other members also started losing interest and focus of the project.
Considering that it was much more "guitar pop" than Ice Choir, there were certain limitations and aspects in writing that Feldman did not want to go through, so he decided to try new things and start over with a new project.
[7] Feldman formed sophisti pop group Roman à clef with A Sunny Day in Glasgow members, Ryan Newmyer and Jen Goma.
Although he departed from the Pains of Being Pure at Heart in 2014, Feldman continued contributing to the band's studio releases which were credited on their albums, The Echo of Pleasure (2017) and Full Moon Fever (2018).
[9] He also actively teamed up with other artists such as Anamanaguchi, Chairlift, Kristin Kontrol, Samantha Urbani, and DIIV, helping for production, mixing, engineering and/or additional instrument needs.
