Falling somewhere between Air France, Stereolab and Animal Collective – Boston’s Passion Pit is the brainchild of Michael Angelakos, a songwriter’s songwriter drawing from a variety of influences, from the classic pop of Randy Newman to the synth work of Giorgio Moroder.
Set to release their full length debut sometime soon “in early 2009” on French Kiss Records, (home to Shakey favourites The Hold Steady, Les Savy Fav, The Dodos and Cut off Your Hands) we’re expecting big things. Having already supported Death Cab for Cutie, Girl Talk and These New Puritans in the States, they head over to the UK in mid-Feb.
Make sure you get your tickets quick sharp – we can’t get enough.
