2012 Top Lists / Vicki

Jan 30, 6:00am Draw Us Lines

Vicki 's Top Lists of 2012 I went into 2012 with a very ambitious goal of trying to cover more musical ground than in the year before.  I set up a playlist and began adding songs from all of the new releases, in an effort to keep track of them all.  By March my playlist was already over 100 songs, and undoubtedly did not encapsulate everything new.  This approach allowed me to sample a lot of different songs from a variety of artists, but I never really felt that I'd absorbed anything.  More importantly, [...]

Cougar Microbes Top Albums of 2012: Passion Pit – ‘Gossamer’

Jan 22, 12:11pm Cougar Microbes

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 .

INTERVIEW: Passion Pit @ Parklife 2012

Oct 11, 2012, 6:00pm Purple Sneakers

On the surface, PASSION PIT may seem like the kind of act that wouldn’t have a trouble in the world. Especially if you take the bright uplifting sounds on all their records as their way of telling you that (we may have been guilty of thinking that in the past). But in reality; there is a hell of lot more to this Boston 6-piece than first meets the ears. Since that fateful day in 2007 that lead composer/writer/vocalist, MICHAEL ANGELAKOS , wrote an EP’s worth of tracks for his at the [...]

Remixed: Passion Pit - Take A Walk (Chew Lips Remix)

Sep 4, 2012, 7:28pm FADED GLAMOUR

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 London electro duo Chew Lips released their new single 'Hurricane' this week, another track previewing their forthcoming second album. I'm not quite as enamoured with it as I have been with some of their excellent previous singles but I'm much more pleased with their recent remix of Passion Pit 's [...]

Passion Pit: Gossamer

Aug 7, 2012, 5:51pm Violent Success

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 .

Album Review: Passion Pit – Gossamer

Aug 3, 2012, 5:30pm KEXP Blog

Gossamer is the second album from Boston electro-pop band Passion Pit . Gossamer is also an adjective used to describe something so thin or translucent that light shines through it, like a spider web. Shakespeare uses the word to help illustrate how stupid we act when we're in love. (It's also the name of this Looney Tunes character, but that's probably not relevant). It's interesting to consider which aspect of the word Passion Pit considered the most when naming their most recent album, following the enormous success of their 2009 release Manners . [...]

Passion Pit: Gossamer

Jul 25, 2012, 3:06am PopMatters

The Boston buzz band's second full-length of shout-along electropop is as scrappy, outsized, and infectious as anyone could hope for, and as shrill and cloying as anyone could expect. Bloggers were early adopters, colleges made them a staple, and critics swear by them live, but you could be forgiven if the fuss over Passion Pit continues to mystify you. Not that it was any surprise when Columbia swooped them up after only an EP: the Boston quintet's brand of loud, lush, lovesick, shout-along electropop has all the high fructose gratification of Coca Cola, and about as much nuance. It's [...]

  Stars are releasing a new album called The North, out September 4th, which seems a long time away, particularly when they've already leaked 2 tracks off the CD, the first out a few weeks ago and the second out (streaming only) last week.  I didn't particularly care for Stars last album, The Five Ghosts , and I didn't think much of their first leaked track "The Theory of Relativity" but I love love love the new track.  It's more expansive and ethereal [...]

Passion Pit - Gossamer

Jul 23, 2012, 9:36am THE GIZZLE REVIEW

Writing on the band's website last week, frontman Michael Angelakos revealed the sad news that Passion Pit will be postponing their current tour so that he can "take the time to work on improving [his] mental health". Over the last few years since their 2009 debut 'Manners', Angelakos has suffered from writers block and depression. 'Gossamer' is the band's latest album and is clearly influenced by the frontman's illness - let's hope writing this has proved cathartic and has set him on the road to recovery. Passion Pit have always juxtaposed [...]
