Passion Pit Manners

4 stars out of 5 -- "It's a shiny bouquet of synth-pop roses, with perfumed Eighties keyboard whooshes and modern stutter beats crooking a finger toward the dance floor."
"[T]heir squeaky indie-pop theatrics are more convincing. Angelakos backs his falsetto with schoolkids, gestures toward the grandiose, even triples the keyboards of his live band."
Billboard (p.57) - "Much of the fun comes from the peppy mulitvoiced choruses -- sometimes sung by kids -- that make themselves the centerpiece in nearly every song..."
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hey soar with MGMT-esque widescreen vitality and in the boundary-pushing, oddly moving 'Sleepyhead,' they have a contender for greatness."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Passion Pit evolve from a one-man pet project to a fully fleshed concern that gives substance to Angelakos' melodic sensibilities over the course of more focused song lengths, more dynamic arrangements, and 40 minutes of joy-buzzer pushing."
