My favorite kinds of music are those of which are nearly impossible to niche into a genre. The music by Passion Pit is just that. The infectious wailing vocals of frontman and singer-songwriter Michael Angelakos backed by the blippy, bouncy electronic beats are hard to categorize in you music library. That’s exactly what makes music like this so great. The new album out by Passion Pit, Chunk of Change, is close to everything I look for in a favorite album. The lack of more tracks is pretty much the only thing missing. The album was originally written as an EP as a Valentines gift for Angelakos’ girfriend, later gaining much attention from friends, eventually all of Boston (the band’s hometown) and is now blowing up all over the internet. The complete album was released September 16th and is available now.
My favorite track on the album would have to be “I’ve Got Your Number”. For those of us who expected a new release out by The Postal Service this year will get temporary relief from this track.
