![Remixed: The Mummers vs Passion Pit - Sleepyhead [Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4883054_lg.jpg)
Remixed is a column that will highlight remixes we actually think are worthy of praise, be they old or new. Because most remixes are rubbish. // Words: Saam Das You're probably wondering why I'm reviving a track that's over four years old. It's been there, done that, and probably got to #1 on The Hype Machine's Most Popular chart. Because I can, I guess. The Mummers ' version of 'Sleepyhead' is full of joyous majesty - something I need right now [...]
With the PARKLIFE tour getting under way in the coming weeks, we figured it's high time we preview some of the best the event has to offer. Here's Dom with his Parklife Top Fives THE PRESETS The Juggernaut that is K YM MOYES and JULIAN HAMILTON may have (literally) changed their tune on latest LP 'Pacifica', but this is no reason to fret. The duo are renowned as live specialists and will no doubt breathe new [...]
Desaparecidos do mapa musical por um tempo considerável, eis que os Passion Pit regressam à ribalta com o anúncio do álbum sucessor de 'Manners', sim aquele que assinalou o sucesso de uma das melhores bandas que apareceram em 2009 e que continha aquele delicioso tema, "The Reeling", tema este que até hoje volta e meia aparece nos meus dj-sets desta cidade. 'Gossamer' é como se vai chamar o
Os Passion Pit são também um dos importantes retornos deste ano. Depois de se infiltrarem nos nossos ouvidos com uma voracidade virulenta, graças aos falsetes electrizantes do álbum de estreia Manners (2009), a banda de Michael Angelakos anuncia Gossamer , a nova produção agendada para 24 de Julho. Sobre o novo trabalho Angelakos destaca a importância das letras, que agora se poderão ouvir mais definidas e que dizem muito sobre os últimos 2 anos de vida do vocalista com uma das vozes mais icónicas da arena pop. Fiquem com algumas das canções mais [...]
After three years spent touring the world and becoming major label signees, Passion Pit have finally announced their sophomore album. ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ passion-pit-announce-sophomore -album-gossamer-for-/64610/
Recently, a lot of lamestream wannabe alts have asked me, " Carles , have u heard the song PUMPED UP KICKS by Foster the People?" I have listened to the song. It seems 'catchy', 'indie', 'trendy', 'lame', 'kewl', 'fun', and the type of song that you'd imagine a group of suburban girls driving around suburbia blasting while they pour vodka into their Sonic slushies. It is interesting to think about how a song that is 'catchy' in an 'indie' kind of way inspires resentment, as opposed 2 the 'we so excited' vibes that a song would [...]
Passion Pit...Shits dope..nuff said
Dans la mesure où je me suis toujours efforcé de m'écarter des sentiers battus au niveau de la forme (vous me dites si vous trouvez un blog comme le mien, hein ! ), je me suis toujours senti obligé de l'être aussi au niveau du fond, et donc de ne pas faire dans le hype. Donc j'attend un peu, avant de poster un artiste qui soit hype, pour éviter d'être étiqueté. Mais parfois, j'ai pas le choix.. Quand on tombe sous le charme, on tombe sous le charme, on fait fi des artifices zé des quand-dira-t-on. Peut-être avez vous remarqué [...]

I've been teaching ESL to children, finishing my thesis, getting certified to teach ESL to adults, preparing an epic move to Scotland- oh, fuck my excuses. There are none. I'm sorry. Here, have some awesome Passion Pix remixes. On the house. The freshly re-entered house. Sleepyhead by Passion Pit (Run Toto Tun Cover) Sleepyhead by Passion Pit (The Knocks remixes)
Words By K1NG I’m not sure exactly what happened in detail, but one day recently my brain began to accept and appreciate the oddest music. It might have to do with the input of my man Beware on this site or maybe I’m just maturing as a fan of music. Regardless of the reasoning, the broadening of my horizons has had a very positive effect on save/delete ratio upon downloading new music. The latest artist that has taken my head for a spin is the electronic sounds [...]
I am all about Passion Pit. I would compare them to MGMT and Cut Copy because they've got that electronic disco feel to them. Have a look. I wish I could see them at the Monolith Festival but my wife is having a baby. Maybe I'll still go...
"Hey, can you guys shut up?!" Passion Pit bassist Jeff Appruzzese is crammed in a van with his band mates and four others. They're en route to Manchester, TN, for their gig at sweat-mud-and-PCP-soaked Bonnaroo - just one stop on the whirlwind ride that Passion Pit's been on since their rock-solid debut album, Manners , was officially released on May 19th. That is if - judged by the ruckus and ribbing [...]
Michelle has been listening to Passion Pit a lot lately so I finally looked into them. It's great stuff, especially "Sleepyhead", and I wouldn't be surprised if they become our new band we play at every dance party. I'll try to get some mp3's up for you soon. The Reeling Sleepyhead EDIT: Just found this great FADER video with a lot of behind the scenes stuff. Mainly working with a children's choir, which I think is an awesome thing to do.

In My Blood er 2. single fra den tyske electronica-producer Sharam Jey 's kommende album, som udkommer senere i år. På singlen har han fået hjælp fra Nik Valentino , forsanger i det australske indie-band, Lost Valentinos , som før har markeret sig på det franske label Kitsuné . Udover dette remix af Larry Tee og Alexander Technique , som vi har fået lov til at smide ud til jer, så har Sharam Jey fået nogle rigtig prominente remixere indover, som vi bestemt synes er værd at tjekke ud. Her [...]
Passion Pit's debut LP "Manners" is being released tomorrow. I got my first listen last week and it was everything their myspace has said it was: "Big Beat / Soul / Pop". I'm not sure there has been a band's name I've heard more lately without every actually hearing a single track. I was one of the few that their attention garnering, critically praised EP "Chunk of Change" sort of skipped over. I heard a little bit of Sleepyhead and mistakenly shook it off. Passion Pit, however, just seemed to keep rolling. The [...]
Passion Pit, psychedelic electro band from Boston, is poised to draw some of Britain's thriving electro scene to America. Their first single “Sleepyhead” is already massive, but I've been really feeling their latest swelling hit, “Little Secrets”. With the same falsetto that made Radio 1 take notice of their first hit, “Little Secrets” swaps the catchy-but-piercing squeals of “Sleepyhead” for a beat that's more driving and more addictive. Passion Pit's debut album Manners releases May 19 on Frenchkiss Records and is available for pre-order. Also, Daily Rind is hosting a remix contest [...]
Thursday, April 30, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: Well, despite our best efforts Team Dine And Dash could only manage a third place finish at the Pluckers Trivia Finals last night. Guess this means we're going to have to keep going back and drinking and eating until we get another shot. Bummer. A few weeks back I stuck a new Passion Pit track in the podcast and then proceeded to mostly buy into all the hype that's been following them around for a [...]
Pues hace como un mes que vengo escuchando a este grupillo sin darle mayor importancia (solo tal vez el que sus vocecillas se oyen muy graciosas al cantar) hasta que les escuché detenidamente y me di por buscar más información sobre ellos, quedando más que gratamente sorprendido pues OMG mucha gente estaba entusiasmada en demasía como yo. So Passion Pit es una banda de Cambridge Massachusetts, formados en 2007 por Michael Angelakos (voz y teclados), Ian Hultquist (teclados), Ayad Al Adhamy (sintetizadores, sampleos), Jeff Apruzzese (bajo) y Nate Donmoyer (batería.). Según mucho de lo que he [...]
Passion Pit has launched a remix contest for a still-under-wraps track from 'Manners', offering up stem snippets of “Little Secrets” nearly a full month before the album’s release. The band has asked fans to download their own special clip, trade with other participating musicians and remixers, and build their own songs around the pieces. Fans will vote for their ten favorites until May 15th. After voting closes, Passion Pit will pick five remixes to be released along with a special vinyl version of “Little Secrets,” while the five runners up will receive a copy of [...]
