Oh! I'm excited. Looking forward to this if it's considered that Gossamer was really good.

[Albie]

Gossamer was fantastic. Of course, I also loved Manners and this comes from a person that listens to both albums on repeat still. I'm so very ready for new Passion Pit!

New pic. Nothing new. Still excited.

Here's something new! pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/146227/passion-pit-lifted-1985

The Morse code translates to "Kindred," which could be a possible album name.

I'm getting a feeling that an announcement will be tomorrow. 


Edit: I was wrong, but it definitely has to be next week 


I give up

[Kyle]

More Morse code this time translating to:

"I put my hands to the air and my knees to the ground"

“The pieces of it all that I could only hold in”

Also it seems they have lost the domain name of PassionPit.com, as now it is now a porn website  ;)

I saw Passion Pit live at ACL 2013 in Austin, TX. They were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I had never heard of them and the were fantastic live. The huge crowd was all singing to the words of their songs. I was really looking forward to new music from them, but after one listen this song hasn't done much for me. I'll listen to it more. Thanks for posting it, Juan Carlos!

[Albie]

Just got tickets to their show here in SD! Can't wait! They were fantastic the last time I saw them.

[Juan Carlos]

NPR revealed Passion Pit's latest track "Until We Can't (Let's Go)" and you could listen to it here.

Anyone think we could be getting a steam tomorrow?

[Kyle]

Yep, stream is up on iTunes Radio! The album sounds great so far.

Good for Michael.  The whole thing was quite interesting to listen to. 

Passion Pit's Michael Angelakos comes out about his sexuality

“I just wanted so badly to be straight, because I love her so much. I think that was one of the most painful things when we decided to separate.”

[Active Aggressive]

Color me surprisingly surprised. I love his music though and I know how much he struggled, so I'm happy for him.

He really has though. First bipolar and now this - or I guess he's probably been dealing with this just as long, if not longer. They continue to be one of my favorite bands though. Michael can only grow from this.

Tremendous Sea of Love is the latest self-released album from the band.

From Consequence of Sound:

In February, Passion Pit frontman Michael Angelakos launched The Wishart Group, an artist advocacy company dedicated to providing musicians with a variety of services otherwise not offered by record labels. A major component of the company is a mental health program, a cause close to Angelakos, who's been open about his struggles with bipolar disorder and depression.

To support the initiative, Angelakos released a string of new Passion Pit songs via social media. Totaling nine tracks in all, they are part of a full-length album/compilation entitled, Tremendous Sea of Love. Now, Angelakos is offering fans a free download of the album in exchange for tweets about science.
