Passion Pit's Good 'Manners'

Friday, October 9, 2009

Listening to Boston's Passion Pit is a lot like going out dancing; it's easy to get caught up in the music and lose yourself. But the group has more to offer than just catchy hooks. Its brand of shiny electro-pop combines bright, danceable aesthetics with emotionally charged lyrics. Hear the band in session on World Cafe.
