Passion Pit

Ojeando algunas listas de lo Mejor del 2008, entre ellas algunos blogs, me he encontrado con una banda, cuya portada me suena,pero supongo que es porque se parece a alguna otra. Por si no los conocíais como yo, o para darle un oportunidad a ese grupo que has visto por algún lado pero luego se te ha pasado escuchar...

Su música me recuerda a la de la banda MGMT, y a la ya futura página que cae para convertirse en discográfica, goodweatherforairstrikes.com pasará a ser NeonGoldRecords, además de a MGMT, suenan a The Go!Team y a Black Kids. Y en lo nuevo que trabajan habrá sonido del estilo de Ratat.

Aqui va su tema -el mejor del año para GoodWeatherForAirStrikes-:

Info sobre la banda recogida en su MySpace:

Boston’s Passion Pit is the brainchild of Michael Angelakos. A songwriter’s songwriter drawing from a variety of influences, from the classic pop of Randy Newman to the synth work of Giorgio Moroder.

The Chunk of Change EP was originally put together as a (belated) Valentine’s Day present to Angelakos’ girlfriend which then prompted him to give it out to friends and fellow students at Emerson College. Angelakos wrote and recorded the entire record by himself and it only hints at what is to come from this extremely talented perfectionist. The production of the recording - brief, sporadic, and explosive - worked towards the development of Angelakos’ signature euphoric and blissfully melancholic sound. Frenchkiss Records will reissue the ep this fall with the addition of two bonus tracks “Better Things” and “Sleepyhead” that are already catching the online world on fire. All of this is in preparation for Passion Pit’s debut full length coming out in early 2009.
