Passion Pit Releases New Track
New Album, Manners, Sounds More Than Promising
Because you don't have enough indie-kitsch in your life. Because you can claim you know what you're talking about when you use the term "electro-indie-pop." Because you don't think that a band formed out of a Valentine's Day mixtape gift and subsequent circulation around a Emerson college in Boston is just a little bit pretentious. Passion Pit is releasing a new album.
Frontman Michael Angelakos and the rest of the Boston boys are finishing up work on the new album, Manners. There is, of course, a ridiculously inappropriate amount of hype surrounding the release on May 26, but the downright infectious boop-blip looping of Passion Pit's Dan Deacon meets The-Beach-Boys-on-acid sound even has me smitten. You can find a new track ("Moth's Wings") streaming over at Pitchfork and the music video for the breakout track from last year's Chunk of Change, "Sleepyhead," here.
