Passion Pit is playing at my house... my house

Yes... they are. Right now... through a pair of Sony MDR-V700's that is. If you don't already know about this outstanding electro quintet you are seriously behind the times. Passion Pit has been ripping it up since late '07 and are best known for their sensational single Sleepyhead. In fact, they put it on their freshman EP and their recent LP Manners. From beginning to end Manners is an absolute indielectro masterpiece. The combination of Mike Angelakos' high-pitched, almost boyish vocals and the group's electro rock sound leaves me thinking Phoenix with a splash of Ezra of Vampire Weekend. Don't get me wrong though. Passion Pit has created a niche all their own and possibly an album to knock AC's Merriweather Post Pavilion out of the #1 spot on my 2009 end of year list. I believe my last Passion Pit posts were removed for copyright violations so no album tracks will be available for download. Never fear though you can still listen.... and download some other level remixes.

It appears that Sox is a French breakbeat remix artist. Admittedly I don't know much as this is the first track I've heard. Here's his/her myspace: http://www.myspace.com/mumtazmorris
