Passion Pit Manners Columbia / Frenchkiss Release Date: 05.19.09 You’ll love this album … On the full-length debut Manners , Michael Angelakos appropriates and amplifies the elements that made Passion Pit’s Chunk of Change EP a success. He remains unabashedly loyal to his shrill voice, supplementing its high-pitched yelps with infectious pop hooks and relentless energy. Emerging last fall, Angelakos was just a sensitive northeastern frat-boy penning songs to his ex-girlfriend. The winter passes and he’s a boldly confident indie-star that records in fancy-studios with [...]
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars To refer to this as one of the most anticipated albums thus far this year is probably an understatement; throw out Grizzly Bear and this is the album everyone wanted to hear. Passion Pit finally have a full length, Manners , to help you make up your mind; are they worth all this hype? You'll have to make up your own mind on that one, as this album is sure to be a polarizing one for many listeners. It builds upon [...]
As Passion Pit 's full length record Manners --out Tuesday--is quickly usurping Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion with regard to pre-release hype/leaked-listened hype for 2009, it's helpful to remind oneself that not only are they still a young band finding their way in the pop world, they're also (hopefully) going to be able to successfully circumnavigate the proverbial circle-jerk-then-backlash-then -ambivalence that comes along with being close to the apex of all of our hearts and minds. Now, we're not going to try and convince you guys that we won't play a part [...]
This just in: Passion Pit is hosting a remix contest for my current favorite track from Manners : Passion Pit is offering up snippets from “Little Secrets” right here, a full month before the track is available with the May 19th release of Manners. They want you to take those pieces and build your own songs around them. All you have to do is offer up your email address and you’ll be sent a stem snippet of the unreleased track. Trade with your fellow remixers and musicians until you have all the snippets, or just [...]
Last month, with anticipation for their full-length debut mounting, Passion Pit unveiled a novel remix contest for the Manners track “Little Secrets.” The gist? The band would offer up random snippets of the track a full month before its release, and fans/remixers would build their own compositions around the pieces they were able to collect. [...]
Patterson Hood - Murdering Oscar (and other love songs) Release Date: June 23, 2009 Label: Ruth St. Records MP3: Stream new songs at Patterson's myspace Rating: 89 ________ Drive By Trucker's frontman, Patterson Hood, follows the lead of fellow DBT'er Jason Isbell, releasing another solo album. There is definite southern-rock cross over here, as well there should be. Hood tells stories beautifully with precision band backing and signature vocal stylings. I love me [...]
Burial's amazing second album Untrue cast a wave of user-friendly dubstep into the mainstream that otherwise may have always remained in the dark. The loneliest, coldest moments in life wave in and out of burial fragile melodies and dark systematic howls. Alongside his almost anonymous identity, his magestically black and grey tracks circle like a lost person with a paranoid high. Burial and Four Tet have now come together for this 123 Moth/Wolf Cub released tomorrow, 5/4/2009. Four Tet's more basic flowing motion rolls Burial pitched vocal snippets through Moth , a 9 minute mash of hyperdub [...]
Passion Pit - Seaweed Song Photo by Elizabeth Weinberg I debated for a few days whether or not to post another track from Manners , but this song has been playing nonstop in my head! Fortunately I noticed a French blog already posted it earlier today so I won’t have to be the first to expose this new gem from Passion Pit. Not sure what else I can add about this group that hasn’t already been mentioned. If you’ve fallen out of the loop, expect these guys to be [...]
No han parado de sonar cosas de passion pit, aunque se dieron a conocer el año pasado con el ep Chunk of Change . Encontré varios remixes de ellos, en esas me encontré con Pepepe , un mexicano que ha remixeado a gente desde Thieves Like Us hasta Jóvenes y Sexys. Es simplemente genial y merece ser escuchado. El tema que remixeo de PP fue 'Little Secrets' del nuevo disco llamado Manners . Les recomiendo que lo revisen, escuchen los demás remixes que están en myspace y diganle -en español- de donde lo escucharon. [...]
Passion Pit 's claim to fame with their potential one hit wonder of an EP Chunk Of Change is under serious threat. With their first single "The Reeling" which we featured last week and wonderful video proving that they just might be just as good as we believed, it seems we are in for a wonderful joyride. They have now left a wonderful taste in our mouth with another track of their upcoming new album Manners . It is now officially a highly anticipated album [...]

Passion Pit - Moth's Wings (mp3) ...from Manners (2009)
Passion Pit have a whole lot to be excited about - they're hitting the road in May, they've got their first full-length hitting the streets May 19 and they're celebrating the whole thing on a boat. We've got the newest single from their upcoming LP, "Moth's Wings," and details about where you can catch them live. Keeping in the trend of talking about bands for no reason except everyone keeps telling us we should care, Passion Pit is having a CD release party for Manners on Monday, May [...]
After last year's Chunk of Change EP which featured the hit Sleepyhead among many other equally wonderful songs such as Better Things , Passion Pit's upcoming Manners is at the moment my most anticipated album thus far. They have slowly pre-released 3 tracks so far and based on those, it's definitely going to be an album that would probably surpass my expectations. The first track that was released was The Reeling and though I was [...]
Should I or Shouldnt I..... I dont like to nessasarily do it anymore but figured for those fellow bloggers who havent heard already..... The much anticipated debut ablum from the Massachusetts Lads Manners has been leaked online. This album is set to be one of the biggest for the year and cant wait see how much hype comes of it over the next the next 2 months. [...]
Should I, or Shouldn't I..... I don't like to exploit the fact that an album has leaked but this is an exception because as most blogger's will agree, this is one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, and I figured if i don't someone else will! Along with this I've also concluded that in the coming months ' Manners ' its going to cause massive hype everywhere, and its already started... There is zillions of blog posts everywhere about 'Passion Pits' rise to fame, and its a great story after [...]
Desde la primera vez que escuché la canción "The Reeling" de los chicos de Passion Pit me enamoré de ella y supe que la canción tenía una melodía perfecta para dar vueltas en la mente retorcida de cualquier dj o productor más o menos decente de la electrónica. Y claro, sucedió, en manos de Calvin Harris (que anunció a través de su Twitter que también hizo un remix a Katy Perry ) el chico que próximamente lanzará su nuevo álbum nos trae un remix que si bien no [...]

Hemos estado digiriendo un poco de lo que será el album de Passion Pit denominado Manners que sale oficialmente el 19 de mayo. Despues de escuchar todo Chunk Of Change y concretar de que su sonido es bastante 'cambur' (de chévere. cambur), tenemos que decir que en general PP ha dado bastante de qué hablar y 'Month's Wings' no ha parado de escucharse en la web. Aprovechen ahí entonces.. Passion Pit - Moth's Wings pd. También les dejo un remix [...]
Nachdem letzte Woche schon das Video zu " The Reeling " für Aufsehen sorgte, gibt es jetzt den ersten Download aus dem kommenden Passion Pit Album "Manners" (VÖ 18.05). "Moth's Wings" fällt weniger elektronisch aus als etwa die Songs der "Chunk Of Change"-EP, klingt ein wenig nach dem Mittelweg zwischen MGMT und Arcade Fire . Und der Weg ist sicher kein schlechter.
