I’m a bit late on these guys but it’s better late than never. Plus, their debut album has not dropped yet so I can’t be that late…can I?? Only in the blog world eh? Well Passion Pit have been making some buzz waves, causing their debut album Manners to be one of 2009′s most anticipated albums. They are an electro band from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Their debut EP Chuck Of Change got the world buzzing about them, and the story behind the EP is a good one. Michael Angelakos the bands lead singer/keyboardist wrote the 6 songs as a valentines day gift for his girlfriend, and then they spread like rapid fire throughout the university he was attending. After that the band exploded. For good reason, these guys produce some enjoyable indie electro that never tires.
I have added the outstanding track ‘The Reeling’ which will be on their debut album, as well as a few tracks from their EP.

It’s weird that you would think you’re late to this whole Passion Pit thing, because even though they’ve been getting a lot of press, they’ve only had one EP out! Yet, it seems like they’ve been around a lot longer, hopefully they’ll be able to maintain this sort of buzz.
They are also performing on the Josh Schwartz web- series Rockville CA (www.rockvilleca.com), which has a performance of ‘Sleepyhead’ and an interview up.
Your right it is weird that I think I am early. But these days the music industry goes so fast, it is so hard to keep up.
