Passion Pit Gossamer Columbia Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Passion Pit gives us a cathartic dance pop album with Gossamer! Album Review: One can listen to Gossamer on two different levels, on the one hand, Passion Pit’s Michael Angelakos has crafted a fist pumping dance [...]
Passion Pit have made a pop lp. Pop like Rhianna, like this is going to chart. With so many tight pop tracks side by side you're going to like something at some point. It's like wandering through a mall, it's like shopping. Very pleasant in the right company. What's not to like about tracks like Carried Away or Mirrored Sea ? This album is truly full of singles, the kind of 1980s type singles that can be listened to as mini operas or background muzak. It feels hysterical, and sometimes it delights me in the [...]
A few days after Passion Pit announced plans to cancel a portion of their summer tour due to singer Michael Angelakos' "mental health," the band released the second video from the hugely anticipated sophomore release Gossamer . The stunning video features a surprising visual display of engaging modern art, as well as one of the album's best tracks. Gossamer , which is due out July 24 via Columbia Records , is available to stream courtesy of NPR . The band plans to return to its summer tour early [...]
We are just under a week away from Passion Pit 's long-awaited Gossamer . It's been two years since they released the deluxe version of Manners. So we've waited, patiently, and now it's so close. Not so secretly anymore, I've heard the entirety of the album already. And, friends, let me say... Yes. Passion Pit and pours out some painful lyrics on Constant Conversations , but tempers it with some slow jam style. Frontman Michael Angelakos ' vocals come down a notch on this song (and most of the album) and we [...]
Passion Pit ’s sophomore record, Gossamer , is finally available to stream in full over at NPR. You can definitely tell the “major label money” difference, but with a band as joyous and lovable as these guys, it really works. Listen .
The previous releases from Passion Pit 's upcoming Gossamer have been, in my opinion, mleh. Nothing extraordinary from the high-falsetto pop group. However, "Constant Conversations" stands out a little stronger, and a little slower and more methodical than "Take a Walk" and "I'll Be Alright." Check it out below, and grab Gossamer July 24, via Columbia .
Stream: Passion Pit- "Constant Conversations" Passion Pit have been steadily dropping new tracks over the past few months in anticipation of their sophomore LP Gossamer . The latest is "Constant Conversations," a relaxing mid-tempo piece that seems to take a rather heavy influence from R&B. Michael Angelakos doesn't settle into a crooner role on this track so much as he takes a few pages from frontmen like David Longstreth of Dirty Projectors, taking center stage with his lofty falsetto and crafting the atmosphere around him with female backing harmonies and woozy synths. It's [...]
A few weeks back, we posted the first taste of Passion Pit's upcoming album with the song Take A Walk . Now, we get the more glossy second single titled I'll Be Alright . While lyrically the song continues the more serious subject matter of the new album, the sound has big beats and shimmering synths with several samples throughout. Stream it below. Gossamer is out July 24th on Columbia Records.
Passion Pit have released a new single, "I'll Be Alright", from their upcoming album, Gossamer , out July 24 via Columbia. If you thought the previous Gossamer single, " Take A Walk ", was a change-up from previous Passion Pit songs, you may or may not be relieved that "I'll [...]
Alright, so Angelakos and the Passion Pit crew have a new full-length coming out July 24th called Gossamer . Obviously it's pretty highly anticipated cuz everyone and their mom loved the first album, but how does the first taster track "Take A Walk" measure up? Unlike Manners which was released in North America on the excellent indie label French Kiss , Gossamer is being put out by Columbia , a major. So technically, yes, Passion Pit sold out. But you say Passion Pit were already uber popular with super [...]

It was February 2007. Michael Angelakos, a student and singer/songwriter at Emerson College, was looking for that special gift to give to his then girlfriend for Valentine's Day. What he came up with were six songs recorded under the alias Passion Pit . The songs failed to woo his lover, but spread like wildfire at Emerson and caught the collective interest of the student body. It was then that Angelakos realized he had something big on his hands. The six songs morphed into an EP named "Chunk of Change" and was officially released in late September 2008. [...]
