PASSION PIT = A SMILE ON THE DANCEFLOOR

Passion Pit is a band you should listen to, over and over and over again, played loud in a room or car where you can bust a move or bob your head.

Their first full length cd, MANNERS, is due out May 19th. Enjoy their first single below (from their first EP Chunk of Change), one lead singer Michael Angelakos wrote/created for his girlfriend as a Valentine’s Day gift. The song (not meant for fame) quickly spread its wings around his college campus, hitting some familiar circuits and bam, Passion Pit’s the next big buzzed about band, churning weird indie rock pop electronica that you can’t get out of your head…with good lyrics to boot!

And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going –

And you said
It was like fire around the brim
Burning solid,
Burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
You gave fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were an inch from the edge of this bed
I drive you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

They couldn’t think of something to say the day you burst
With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begone skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

Go ahead
