That was the official music video for Passion Pit’s lead single for their upcoming album, Manners. I may have only heard 3 songs off Manners, but I am completely convinced that with that album Passion Pit will give Animal Collective and Merriweather Post Pavilion a run for their money.Manners is out May 19th, and will probably leak a couple weeks before that.
On “Little Secrets” we hear the Passion Pit electronic art-pop formula that we’ve heard resonating throughout their Chunk of Change EP and in “The Reeling.” Michael Angelakos’ unforgettable falsetto over stunning electro two-cheeks-on-the-floor beats is one sure-fire way to catch this guy’s attention. Add Peter, Bjorn and John-esque choir kids singing “higher and higher and higher” and you’ve another fantastic track off what’s shaping up to be a sensational album.
But the big knews isn’t another Sleepyhead-esque song, but a song that kicks off with, drumroll…. a mandolin! Following the intriguing introduction are soft keys and sultry synths creatin a daydream atmosphere that holds until the last note, almost 4 minutes later. “Moth’s Wings” is the first sign that Passion Pit are rising up to the challenge to write a song better than “Sleepyhead” — and I’ve got to admit, “Moth’s Wings” is a worthy counteracter. Bring on Manners.

The RIAA has asked me to take “Little Secrets” down. So I did.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G I wonder who first sent you the full Little Secrets? Lol jk nice post
Badass video!!
I can’t wait to see passion pit live in Jun.
Heard “Little Secrets” a few days ago but was too much of a wuss to post it. But I do love it. And I agree, Manners may actually turn out to be a pretty nice listen
PASSION PIT RULES
they just keep coming out with more and more good songs
definitely not giving animal collective a run for their money. definitely. not.
they’re decent for a new band, i like that they’ve got a fresh sound. but i personally thought “the reeling” was unlistenably bad and these two are only decent.
woah dude the RIAA actually contacted you?
