So, I'm thinking it's Friday night somewhere in a quiet Midwestern suburb and some popular middle school girls are throwing a rambunctious party weeks before their first days in the big leagues: high school. Obviously, their popularity is largely devoted to their trendy sensibilities and indie music tastes: the central force which never ceased to illicit envy from the 'lesser' tweens in town. Fueled by massive levels of naivety, inflated egos, and self-image concerns, STRFKR 's Miracle Mile is the abysmal soundtrack to that stereotype-fulfilling, booze-laden, parents-out-for-the-night house party. And that's the only [...]
![[Listen] Stream Juicy J's Remix of Passion Pit's "Constant Conversations"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4811522_lg.jpg)
In the "god damn, I didn't expect that" category this past week is Three 6 Mafia member Juicy J , who recently dropped a remix of labelmate Passion Pit 's mellow cut "Constant Conversations". J's remix holds on to the smooth, seductive rhythms and falsetto samples, which serve as a surprisingly perfect fit for his crisp verses. Check it out below, and let us know what you think of this random pairing.
Passion Pit'in geçtiğimiz yaz çıkan yılın en iyi albümlerinden Gossamer'da yer alan Carried Away en iyi Viceroy tarafından remixlenebilirdi, ki öyle de olmuş. Hem orijinaline sadık kalmış hem de daha dans edilebilir bir sound yakalamış. San Franciscolu prodüktörün mottosunu hatırlayın: "Summertime, All The Time" [Ek Bilgi: Viceroy'un en yeni şarkısı While We're In Love feat. Ghost [...]
Probably the happiest thing you will hear today: Viceroy remixed Passion Pit's "Carried Away" - one of my favorites off of this year's Gossamer . With some added summery goodness, nothing but love for Viceroy here. Also, in case you missed it, he released his video for his "While We're In Love" featuring fellow pop-love of mine Ghost Beach that looks like many nights in NYC and makes me want to grab a drink or two with Viceroy.

Passion Pit’s follow up to its popular debut, Manners, is a messy affair but worthy of close listening that pays off throughout. Their sophomore release titled, Gossamer , challenges, entertains and confounds, sometimes within the same song. The music is dense, complex, often overly busy, and swings wildly like the arc of a pendulum. The vocals are high pitched and nasally as if sung with lungs filled with helium. While that might not sound appealing, it’s nothing short of intoxicating. Many moments are sheer electopop bliss. But darkness lurks right near the [...]
The Twilight movies always seem to get a stellar soundtrack compiled. Thom Yorke had that amazing track for New Moon and The Joy Formidable tune from the last one was a keeper. For Breaking Dawn: Part 2 , it appears to be the same case. The opener is a new song from Passion Pit . It starts out just alright, but then a minute in, when it gets all electronic on us, it becomes something rather enjoyable. Check it out. PASSION [...]
Having released his debut album, All of Us, Together only a few months ago, Jamison , the man behind British Canadian outfit Teen Daze , is one of many artists continuing an ongoing trend this year: producing a high volume of material. From Ty Segall to Death Grips , serving up multiple albums in the same calendar year is impressive by any standard. Fortunately, this follow-up, inspired by Saint Terisa of Avila's "El Castillo Interior", gives a more pronounced, defined sound, allowing him [...]
With Gossamer , Passion Pit has put out one of the year's most maniacally compelling records of 2012, fueled in part by the foot-stomping single " I'll Be Alright ". And Big K.R.I.T. , well, he's Big K.R.I.T. And when mash-up masters Hood Internet put them together, you have an insanely enjoyable, rocket-fuel type of a joint. Enjoy.

![[review] Passion Pit // Gossamer](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4427489_lg.jpg)
I am not sure if I am actually a fan of Passion Pit. There’s a petty bone in my soul that resents the infectious popularity of their act (part band, part one-man show). I mean, how many great electropop bands flop without breaking the mainstream, while Passion Pit is universally considered “the tits?” That said, "Sleepyhead" was an extremely catchy song that deserved its crossover appeal (I have to admit), and Michael Angelakos obviously has an ear for pop hooks. So Gossamer ... To begin, it’s a damned good record. I expected a loud, infectious and massive [...]
Passion Pit are a band that I've associated a lot of my college memories with. Coming into my freshman year at Washington University in St. Louis, they were the "it" band. Everyone and their grandmother was listening to their debut album "Manners." So much so, my school actually got them to perform at a concert we throw every semester called "Walk In Lay Down (W.I.L.D)." So it seems only fitting as I go into my senior year, Passion Pit will once again be the band that everyone will be talking about this year. And with fantastic remixes by [...]

No sabemos qué debe estar rondándole en la cabeza a Michael Angelakos, líder y vocalista de Passion Pit , para haber recurrido a la siempre triste decisión de cancelar conciertos. Y más ahora, que el grupo está a punto de poner a la venta Gossamer , su nuevo disco de estudio. En el breve comunicado publicado en su web , Angelakos ha comentado lo siguiente: Hola a todos, En nombre del grupo y de mí mismo, me gustaría disculparme enormemente por la cancelación de los conciertos.

This is my favourite of the new Passion Pit tunes that have surfaced so far. So nice. • PASSION PIT [FB] STREAM | Passion Pit - Constant Conversations Posted by Celebrity Sex Tape.
Here's a third leak off the upcoming Passion Pit album Gossamer . "Constant Conversation" heads in a somewhat new direction for the usually electro-pop type sound of Passion Pit. It's a little more R&B influenced than we have heard from them in the past. I can dig it. PASSION PIT - CONSTANT CONVERSATIONS
As Passion Pit 's July 24th release date for new album Gossamer inches closer, we're getting a better idea of what the album will sound like. "Constant Conversations" comes in as promotional single number 3, after lead single "Take A Walk" and its maximalist follow-up "I’ll Be Alright," and it's a smoldering slow-burner (in the only way Passion Pit can smolder and slow-burn) compared to the summer playfulness of the first two tracks. The song's worth a listen, if only to hear frontman Michael Angelakos go full soul man toward [...]
We've heard "Take A Walk" and "I'll Be Alright," but now Passion Pit is sharing a third track off of their upcoming second album Gossamer . The song sounds like R&B meets "Sleepyhead." The song is good but my personal favorite so far is still "Take A Walk" because it's one of those songs you just can't deny. Listen to "Constant Conversations." Thoughts?
