Passion Pit
 

My apologies if I missed thread on these guys already. I just saw them last night. They were fairly enjoyable. Their only release has been an EP entitiled Chunk of Change. I guess they only formed a year ago and got recognized out of the Boston scene after a few shows. Give them a listen, won't you?

The album leaked and it's so much fun....http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...power/love.gif

I liked the Chunk Of Change ep so I'm excited for the full length album.

Full length leaked. I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed with it compared to their EP (which was amazing). I love these guys so maybe it'll grow on me.

How great is that aye? http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...wer/dreamy.gif

Ok, I've had a listen to the EP and the album is 10 times better. One of the better albums of the year for me...(:

I gotta say its grown on me- such a fun album. And here I thought 2009 wasn't going to have any surprises for me:thumb:

Hmm, I gotta pick up the new album that was leaked, I picked up their EP and really liked it. Did you guys know that the EP was supposed to be a Valentines gift or something for the singers girlfriend, and it ended up being the EP as well. Anyways, I heard that somewhere and thought it was a pretty interesting fact.

manners is definitely one of my top albums of the year so far. it's difficult to say which one i prefer, but it's in the same class as dan deacon's bromst, dirty projector's bitte orca (which i really haven't been able to hear enough yet), and grizzly bear's veckatimest.

the reeling and make light are impossible to stop listening to.

Yeah, I just got this, and I really enjoyed it! I thought Chunk of Change, their EP, was good, but I really like this album. I have really high hopes for this band!

All my thanks goes to Marijan for hooking me up with Manners. I love, love, love it!

I seriously cannot stop listening to this album. It is soo damn good!

So I finally got around to hearing this. Yes, I love this album in all of it's somewhat cheesy, ridiculously catchy glory.

Meaning to get this, didn't like them at first, but now Passion Pit gives me hope for a great Boston scene.

I haven't listened to their full length yet, but I'm glad to hear its pretty good.

little secrets is pretty good, but only the intro for some people

I'm not huge on them, but I've been listening to "Swimming in the Flood" and getting so much stuff done. Just a great vibe and progression throughout.

edit: oops

I'd heard of them before but never really had the urge to check them out until I saw that they were opening for Muse. They make really catchy music that's definitely worth a listen if you enjoy synth-pop or dream-pop.

Ah i love Passion Pit. Manners was one of my favourite albums from last year and Little Secrets was probably my song of the year. Hopefully they can follow-up that album with another gem.

They're the band I'm most excited to see for an upcoming nearby music festival (featuring artists such as Rush, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater...). It's quite sad that I'm most excited to see an albeit good, synth-pop indie band.

Still, I really do like Chunk of Change.

Just caught the video for "Sleepyhead." Anyone else think this front man is capable of murder?

Yeah, his eyes make me want to start a cult.
The video for "Little Secrets" pisses me off too. Like, oh hey. I know this song is about opium addiction and all but lets just pretend that its not so we can use a lot of yellow, smiley face imagery, and delightful girls wearing yellow.

I quite like Passion Pit, but I havent heard much more than the singles. At first I thought it was a girl singing though :confused:

I don't really like them, heard a couple of songs but nothing sounds awsome, except Sleepyhead. It were actually one of my favourite songs for a period :)

...what?

This is band for guys who want to try to **** chicks.

Oh that's original. You sure you didn't pilfer that from a year old post on Flavorwire?

Yeah, and what ****ing loser wants to **** chicks?

I'm going back to that dude bangin music.

Don't know what you speak of.

Passion Pit: Bros vaguely interested in listening to music and very interested in having sex with their girlfriend.

Can some Passion Pit "veteran" tell me witch their best songs is?

"Little Secrets" and "Sleepyhead". The rest of Manners kind of sucked.......
How can you be a veteran of a band thats only released one album?

the rest of manners sucked? the reeling is without a doubt the best song on that album and arguably one of the best songs of '09

I sort of agree there. Maybe not one of the best songs of 09. But with Little Secrets, The Reeling is one of their bests.

Havent heard the rest of the album so wouldnt know. And it took me a while to warm to Sleepyhead.

"The Reeling" and "Cuddle Fuddle" pretty much steal the show as far as Passion Pit goes.

Sorry, thought that they had more releases :P

Manners is perfect except for Seaweed Song, which is the only one that bores me. The EP also kicks ass though, I wish those songs (bar sleepyhead) got more love.

little secrets is awesome and i loved ALL of manners!

I know I'm the minority but I thought it was crappy and lazy. I'll give it another listen though.

EDIT: Listened to it. 5/10. Realized I didn't like "Little Secrets" and "Sleepyhead" as much as I thought I did.........sorry guize.
