I am a sucker for these kinds of bands. They just get me on both sides of what I dig. The indie rock sound with its DIY ethos, and the DJ friendly-ish electronic pop sensibility.
The thing is, my love for them is shallow and fleeting. As soon as the next indie-rock/electronic-pop band/song/release/remix comes out...I just move on to that. Leaving a veritable graveyard of bands in this genre, in my wake.
Passion Pit is a band like this for me. Soon to be thrown in the trash like a paper plate. It's hard to say that now, because I am totally digging it.
The more I listen to it, the more it reminds me of everything I liked about Prince.
Is it possible that this particular band with this particular album could remain in my heart?

The lead singer and songwriter, Michael Angelakos, says he wants to be the next Randy Newman. Whenever I listen to the song "To Kingdom Come", I think I hear the influences of Newman. Maybe.
The best part of this album? The remixes that people have done off its release! I share one below from Wallpaper:

Passion Pit even gets in on the remixing, taking on Dan Black of the now defunct The Servant.
