Only one word can accurately describe what Manchester’s Run Toto Run have done with Passion Pit’s “Sleepyhead.” It’s completely gorgeous. Gone is Michael Angelakos’ signature helium falsetto. It has been replaced with the buttery smooth hymnal purr of frontwoman, Rachael Kichenside. The synths were swapped for an inspired violin arrangement and utterly fantastic guitar work.

Just listen to this. Now.
