The Cambridge, Massachusetts synth-pop quintet Passion Pit is gearing up for the release of its first full-length album (Manners, due out 5/19) with a video for its first single—"The Reeling.” The sound is a lot bigger than anything off of last year’s Chunk of Change EP. For “The Reeling,” Michael Angelakos brought in a professional children’s choir to help him sing the chorus. You can watch the making of the song here. But for now, enjoy the video.

Ugh. Paste’s profile of Free Energy made me kind of hate them. So does your review. It’s this unctuous defense of good-time rock-and-roll ("we’re just here to party, and we’re awesome!") that seems more self-serving than fun-loving.

that inescapable feeling you are referring to, is that like when you hear something and you could have sworn you heard it before because of the nostalgic catchy quality? or is is like when you’ve heard a band exactly like said band?
great post by the way!

no prob. The whole album is excellent, combining some of the harder sonics of Los Angeles with the meat of his debut and obviously difficult to summarize in only 50 words… 
I’d say it’s on par with the debut, but better than Los Angeles.

that paper mache face is really freaky. awesome video.
you’re right - the sound is a lot fuller than their ep. i’m not sure i like that yet. the video is really great, but seems a bit dark for their music.
Yea, the sound definitely takes some getting used to. I’m hoping Manners has a few lighter gems like “Smile Upon Me.”
I’m glad their success now means they have a music video budget! I wish they would have incorporated the adorable children’s choir in this music video, but it’s good nonetheless.
Passion Pit also has live performances up from Josh Schwartz’s new web- series Rockville CA (www.rockvilleca.com).
Love Passion Pit, good vid
