The Cambridge based band indie-electronic band stopped by the always enjoyable Glass House this past Saturday night in Pomona. Passion Pit, for the few who do not have the internet, have received much buzz prior to the release of their debut LP Manners this year.
It's always great to see a band live up to the hype as Manners delivers an infectious and very literal brand of skinny boy dance-party fun. To kick off their set was "Make Light," the first track off the new LP and features a hook and keyboard-line (both) nothing short of major.
Other highlights included a bouncy and very engaging rendition of the quintessential Passion Pit jam (if there was one) "Sleepyhead" and ending with what will most likely be remembered as one of the all-time summer jams of '09, "The Reeling."
A short set withstanding, Passion Pit will be making kids dance and smile for quite some time. I am hoping the nature of Michale Angelakos falsetto-on crack vocals do not limit this band from reaching further potential than it has already shown. Their sound seems as if it may have been trialed and errored before -- but in actuality it is completely and innocently original.
