Hmm... little late posting this - Texan duo Pink Playground 's 'Take A Walk' from their split release with Circle Hour, out now via Beko ( digital here ). The Houston-based shoegazers released their last LP via Mexican Summer in 2011, the lo-fi fave 'Destination Ecstasy'.

Starting off almost by chance as a one-man-project and rapidly growing thanks largely to internet buzz, Passion Pit have finally released their second full length. 'Gossamer' proves their ease in churning electro-pop gems such as the super "I'll Be Alright", "Take A Walk" and "Constant Conversation" said Mario. Thom continued "I don't think anyone doubted [...] The post Cougar Microbes Top Albums of 2012: Passion Pit - 'Gossamer' appeared first on Cougar Microbes .
Win our top 31 albums of 2012 ! Read the original review Given the considerable success Passion Pit 's first album Manners garnered, it's always interesting to see what a new band will follow-up with. And while not a huge departure from their debut, Gossamer shows a surprising amount of restraint for a band known for their euphoric blend of electropop. While "Take A Walk" wasn't necessarily the first single everybody was [...]
I now present the top 3 finalists for this year's "Home" award. Appropriately named after Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros' hit song of the same name — a song so good, it's impossible to hate, even when it's overplayed and overused. In 3rd place, Of Monsters And Men with their hit "Little Talks". Having already conquered their homeland over the last couple of years, 2012 saw this six-piece from Iceland conquer North America and beyond. The band's debut LP, [...]

To plug their upcoming Endless Summer Tour , Los Angeles nu disco duo Classixx have lent their dreamy chilled-out vibes to Passion Pit's lead single "Take a Walk."

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’s Original of ‘Constant Converstations’ is a bed of warmly keyed phrases - served simultaneously by a flowing lead vocal and a constant bass drum honed in depth. Passion Pits’ other Originals are taken to task greatly by The Highweights, Gold Fields, Sinden, Burns and The M Machine. If excitement was actually a Richter scale reading, then this would have gone past the maximum metre on these Passion Pit remixes already. On the bonus link is RAC’s “White Light Mix #64.” Attractive and aurally picturesque is just the tip of [...]
Terrific video for an awesome song.
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 . [...]
On its sophomore albums, Massachusetts' Passion Pit brings its joyful, upbeat sound to new heights of happiness. WATCH THE REVIEW
Here's a fun new take on Passion Pit's hit track Take A Walk. This time it is remixed by a new artist to The Eargazm called The Highweights. This Dj, Production duo hales from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. They started the grind in early 2010 playing at house parties, bars etc. and now they are topping the charts and making a real name for themselves. This is a great remix and they give it an entirely new feel. With a heavy bass line and that airy pop, they've got themselves a winner. Have a [...]
After three years, Passion Pit is back with the radiant and intimate Gossamer.
"Poignant yet bursting with personality. This is THE album of the summer..." Passion Pit | Gossamer On hearing their debut EP Chunk of Change, It’s doubtful that anyone would have predicted Passion Pit to evolve into the indie juggernauts they are today. Surpassing expectations, they fashioned a multi-layered, colorful sound that engaged us back in 2009 with album Manners. Now the electro pop headliners return with more of their long-awaited, bright and effervescent sound on second album Gossamer with Angeakos hinting that there ‘ ’ [...]
After announcing the release of its upcoming album, Gossamer , and unveiling the new single "Take A Walk" (see below), dance-pop-rock band Passion Pit have cancelled their forthcoming tour due to the lead singer Michael Angelakos' mental health. The band's other tour dates, beginning on August 2 at House of Blues in Chicago, are still on at press time. Here's wishing Angelakos a speedy recovery. His full statement can be found below. Hello all, On behalf of the band and myself, I would like to greatly apologize for the show cancelations. In [...]
As we already let you know about the stream of the new Passion Pit record, Aussies Gold Fields have gone ahead and have made a ridiculously good remix of Gossamer single, “Take a Walk”. While the original track had a smooth, conscientious mid tempo feel going on, the song is now raised a few levels higher. It hopefully make you smile a little bit on this Monday.
This year we're being treated to comeback albums by a slew of artists who are trying to follow-up the huge success of their debut album, perhaps none more so than Passion Pit or The xx . Passion Pit dropped their debut LP Manners back in 2009 and became one of that year's Summer-soundtracked bands, with "Sleepyhead" being blasted from houses, cars, pubs, clubs, and clowns living in sewers , it was almost inescapable. Earlier this year [...]
Official music video for Passion Pit's latest single, "Take A Walk."
Passion Pit chopped and screwed ? Feeling it. For your sizzurp/purple drank/lean needs? electropop should get screwed and chopped more often.
