(Columbia Records; New York, NY; February, 2015) Kindred, the new album from Passion Pit, will be released April 17th via Columbia Records. Listen to the first track from the album, “Lifted Up (1985),” now on passionpitmusic.com. The album is now available for pre-order with “Lifted Up (1985)” and a second track, “Where The Sky Hangs,” as instant downloads. Pre-order via iTunes!
Kindred was written by Passion Pit creative force and frontman Michael Angelakos and recorded in New York City. The album was produced by Angelakos alongside longtime collaborators and co-producers Chris Zane and Alex Aldi, as well as Benny Blanco.
Kindred follows Passion Pit’s 2012 hit Gossamer, which found the band selling out Madison Square Garden, appearing on “Saturday Night Live” and a special “Live on Letterman” performance, and playing at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Outside Lands and more.
Angelakos’ songwriting process for Passion Pit has always been to filter and reshape. Many sounds on Kindred that one would assume are synths are Angelakos’ voice, manipulated by computers and pedals. Angelakos frequently repurposes sound: using top 40 signifiers for outré ends, crushing weird natural and synthetic detritus together into pop (Brent Katz, liner notes, 2015).
Angelakos’ recent collaborations include tracks with Skrillex and Madeon.
Over the past 2 albums, Passion Pit has sold over 700.000 albums, 3.7 million singles with over 130 million Spotify streams.

Passion Pit’s Michael Angelakos makes Technicolor electro-pop with monster hooks. But his songs are sturdy, versatile things...”
—NPR Music
“Shiny, happy sounds define the music of Passion Pit…dizzying electronic stutters, wavery manipulated voices, chiming glockenspiels, stately pianos, female backup singers, twittering woodwinds and elegiac string sections. It’s larger and much cleaner than life—that is, until Mr. Angelakos’s lyrics sink in.”—The New York Times
“Michael Angelakos’ records don't always sound human. The track-upon-track production mixes keyboards, guitars and orchestral instruments until it’s sometimes little more than a bundle of luminous accouterments. Yet below the ultra-modern glisten are little diaries of tough times and hard living, all of them graced with emotive, soul falsettos...”—Los Angeles Times |

War mir sicher, dass Kevin mit seiner Rezi diesmal wieder daneben liegt, aber er hat doch recht. Die ersten beiden Alben haben mir damals zumindest für einen gewissen Zeitabschnitt gut gefallen und wurden entsprechend oft gehört. Das hier ist aber echt dürfig. |
