The Tings Committee

Ok so a LOT of people are calling Passion Pit 2009's MGMT. Now for the record, I AM NOT AGREEING. I think Passion Pit has carved out a niche of its own and Angelakos' lyrical stylings really can't be equaled by anyone. That being said, I don't know if any single has been remixed as much as Passion Pit's Sleepyhead... except maybe The Management's Kids. So there... I guess in that sense they're incredibly similar. I've posted my 4 favorite remixes below... IMHO they're all you EVER need to hear.

Sleepyhead (The Knocks Remix)


Sleepyhead (Neo Tokyo Remix)


Sleepyhead (Kids At The Bar Remix) (Too big for my host)

Sleepyhead (Wallpaper Dio Remix)

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.
