Whoa there. Step back for a second. Take a moment to breathe and tell someone you love them. Pull a couple weeds from the garden in your soul. Smile, a little. Relax. Share a sweet potato. Anyone in America that lives in a swing state can attest that they need these moments. I mean there is a lot of hate flowing. Ads on television, message boards in the newspapers, graffiti on the bathroom stalls, you name the medium and there has probably been some angry diatribe flung recently. We've become a bunch of three year olds sticking our tongues out, [...]

This past weekend, Passion Pit passed yet another career milestone, serving as musical guests on the Christina Applegate-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live . The band played two tunes from their new Gossamer : " Take A Walk " and "Carried Away." They looked pretty comfortable throughout, and their crisp and chipper synth-rock somehow made it past SNL 's notoriously awful sound engineers without sounding like total mud. Frontman Michael Angelakos has been busy with the media lately. He also recently showed up on the public-radio music talk show Sound Opinions , playing stripped-down [...]

Passion Pit delivered a somewhat flat performance on SNL this weekend, but as it happens, the SNL stage isn't the most conducive to vibrant or electric performances (save, maybe, Frank Ocean ). The band performed two new songs off of their newest album, Gossamer , " Take A Walk " and " Carried Away ". Watch the band perform on the sacred SNL stage below.

Passion Pit: Gossamer - We know it all too well. Those lonely, troublesome days where no matter what you do, your brain is permanently programmed to ‘emotional overload,’ and all it craves is some release from the pain of all that overwhelms us in this world. Vocalist Michael Angelakos has been living with the demons of his emotions since making it big in 2009, and lyrically portrays the trials and tribulations of all things with love and life that are beautifully tragic in Passion Pit ’s newest album, Gossamer . [...]
The video for "Constant Conversations", a tune off of Passion Pit 's latest Gossamer LP, is pretty heavy. I'm struggling to piece together what's actually happening, but from what I gather it's not a comfortable situation. I suppose this makes sense given that the recent tour date cancellations were due to frontman Michael Angelakos' mental health. For a deeper look into his seemingly troubled mind, and to understand what I'm talking about, head over to Pitchfork for the full-on feature story (a great read). Passion [...]

Never did smoking cigarettes and drinking straight spirits look so god damn sophisticated as in PASSION PIT' s new video for ‘Constant Conversations.’ The film takes us to one of those places full of secrets and hurt, but it’s all so classy and tasteful, you just want to be there anyway. Plus I get huge kicks out of watching MICHAEL ANGELAKOS sing; the guy is so suave. ‘Constant Conversations’ has a definite groove, almost indicative of the clips intended era. I actually really love it; [...]
