First Look: Passion Pit
Holy shit, it’s Passion Pit. Far and away my most listened to band of 2008, the creators of the best song to grace these ears in fucking forever (that’d be “Sleepyhead”) and the most exciting band to come out of the States in as long as I can remember, Passion Pit are about to fuck shit up for real. The brainchild of frontman/creative force Michael Angelakos, they sound like they’ve taken the best (read: most euphoric) parts of MGMT, Black Kids and The Go! Team, and on the new material they’re currently working on it sounds like Ratatat are very much in danger of being beaten at their own game. We’ve got some seriously exciting news to announce next week regarding the band, but in the meantime take “Sleepyhead” for a spin and don’t forget to pick your jaw up the floor. Yeah, it’s like that.

Give it a week or so and Pitchfork will be shitting themselves.
