Passion Pit

Heard this when it dropped in Sept. 2008. I nearly shit myself with joy, I recall laughing at how good it was... sounds odd, but it was such a pleasant surprise to hear. It really is one of those songs that gets in your head and makes you want to hear it over and over. Originally, the set of 6 songs was a Valentine's Day gift from Mark Angelakos to his girlfriend that became popular throughout Emerson College, which he was attending. Passion Pit started in late 2007 and were quickly recognized in the Boston music scene after a few shows. A year later - Sold out shows in New York, PSP commercial, MTV shows, on a New York based record label... This was the only CD i purchased in 2008. Hhmm.
