Passion Pit

Please, attempt to say something bad about this band. Attempt to disparage them in any way, shape or form beyond the usual cliché attacks on electronic-indie. Actually, go ahead and try those ones too. These guys will disprove all of them. Seriously handled musicianship and instrumentation that can still be fun and lighthearted when necessary, the Massachusetts fivesome is a prime example of a band that’s completely dance-able but actually has sonic and lyrical layers that are worth picking apart. What that means is that, when people forget about whatever the current flavor of the week dance pop on TV and radio is about a month from now, these guys are still going to be around. - Brien Overly
