The past week has been incredibly insane that squeezing in a Feature Friday to the already up in smoke week would ruin the feature's purpose. Thus, I decided to put it off, and then make a double feature this week to make up for last week. Sound good?
I'm starting things off with one of my current uberfaves, Passion Pit. Passion Pit has been a major fave of mine since a good friend introduced their music to me about a month ago. Their music is a bit hard to place, really. It's got a touch of the 80's, electropop, and something either unique to them, or something I am completely unaware of. They have, although I completely disagree, been compared to MGMT and Hot Chip. Actually, I quote: "Hot Chip meets MGMT". I totally disagree. Being a fan of MGMT, I know MGMT when I hear it, and PP is nowhere near MGMT. What Passion Pit and MGMT do have in common, though, the record label.
With a seemingly carefree attitude with all the success they're in, and sounds this eargasmic, only time (and a bunch of future releases) will tell whether Passion Pit has evolved from "hype band" to a legend in the making. For now, chomp on every cyberspace chow there is on Passion Pit.
