The band that just makes us wanna dance is (finally) back! Passion Pit released their sophomore album Gossamer yesterday. From what we've heard of it, the boys have maintained their electro-pop likeability but have matured, delving into different textures and richer layers of sound. Strings of narratives run through the songs as front man Michael Angelakos sings of his family heritage and love, and the seemingly unrestrained joyous music is at the same time grounded by introspection and loneliness. To Passion Pit, this music in all its colorful buoyancy is what keeps them, as people, afloat.
Too broke to purchase the album? Listen to the free stream via NPR while you can or watch their live performance of hit single "Take a Walk" below.
