Passion Pit

Whilst Passion Pit aren't a new or scarcely known band, I felt that with the release of their new album yesterday I couldn't miss the opportunity to mention their incredible new album, Gossamer. This is Passion Pit's second full-length release which comes nearly three years after their debut album, Manners. I didn't think that they could live up to the reputation they built for themselves after the incredible single 'Sleepyhead' but this album really has excelled them in my opinion. Michael Angelakos has achieved so much with this album, not only did he write and co-produce all of the songs on this album, but he did this while suffering with his bipolar disorder, having to spend time in a mental hospital over summer. Album opener which is also the single 'Take a Walk' talks about the effects of the recession on America this serious subject is discussed behind impressive synths and a huge chorus that will be stuck in your mind all day. This really describes the whole album, gritty and serious lyrics hidden behind their usual upbeat energetic sound that we all love Passion Pit for. I would definitely recommend buying or listening to the album, they haven't disappointed with this incredible release, it has been well worth the three year wait. I recommend you listening to 'Take a Walk'...
