Passion Pit

Boston, Massachusetts-based Interest Pit began being a one-man task of vocalist and songwriter Michael Angelakos to make a Valentine’s Day present for his partner. The present, an EP entitled Chunk of Modification, soon finished up in the hands of close friends and acquaintances, who had been enthralled with the task. Eventually, Interest Pit became not just a automobile for the passionate expressions of Angelakos’ center but a full-fledged music group — at least for live gigs — and opened up for several well-known performers, including Loss of life Cab for Cutie. This momentum resulted in label curiosity, and in 2008 the Frenchkiss label found Chunk of Switch for re-release with the help of two bonus songs. The EP, and specifically the monitor “Sleepyhead,” garnered a whole lot of interest from bloggers and followers of giddy digital indie pop. Columbia Information also loved what they noticed and combined with Frenchkiss release a Manners, the 1st album from the group (which right now contains Angelakos, Nathan Donmoyer, Ian Hultquist, Ayad Al Adhamy, and Jeff Apruzzese), in springtime of 2009. The band’s long-awaited 2012 follow-up, Gossamer, was preceded from the singles “Go for a walk,” “I’M GOING TO BE Alright,” and “Continuous Discussion,” and presented participant Xander Singh, who changed Adhamy. While touring soon after the album’s launch, Angelakos canceled the rest of the times to enter a service to get help for his bipolar disorder. Enthusiasm Pit resumed actions a couple of months later on with an appearance on Sunday Night Reside in Oct, then were silent until the following year if they headlined the Coastline Festival in Florida and released the Regular Conversations EP. Nothing at all more was noticed until Xander Singh and Ian Hultquist stop the music group in past due 2014. Better information arrived in 2015 using the announcement of a fresh album as well as the launch of an individual, “Lifted Up (1985),” in Feb. With liner records crediting exclusively Angelakos as an associate, Enthusiasm Pit’s bubbly third recording, Kindred, premiered soon after.
