I am absolutely addicted to this song. The first time I heard a song from Passion Pit, I was like, "What is this?" It wasn't necessarily said in a good way, either. I was confused. There were so many instruments clashing in the background and I didn't enjoy what I heard at all. But they grew on me. Fast. This five-member band is like a happier, upbeat version of MGMT (whose recently released official video of "Kids" is extremely odd and nightmarish), so for those of you who like electronic synthesis as the backdrop to the male voice, Passion Pit is a must-hear.
The story of how the band came together is quite cute. Michael, the lead singer of Passion Pit, formed the band after presenting four of the songs on the band's first EP, Chunk of Change, to his girlfriend for Valentine's Day while they were still students at Emerson College. It doesn't seem like they're together anymore, but how could anyone say no to a guy who wants to be that creative for you?
Both Chunk of Change and Manners, which came out in May of this year, are worth checking out. Passion Pit doesn't just produce dance-with-yourself-in-your-bedroom music, but songs that will keep you coming back for more. Fun stuff, guys.
