Dear friend, as you know
Your flowers are withering
Your mother's gone missing
Your leaves have drifted away
But the clouds are clearing up
And I've come reveling
Burning incandescently
Like a bastard on the burning sea
You're just like your father
Buried deep under the water
You're resting on your laurels
And stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyways?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground
You come beating like moth's wings
Spastic and violently
Whipping me into a storm
Shaking me down to the core
But you run away from me
And you've left me shimmering
Like diamond wedding rings
Spinning dizzily down on the floor
You're just like your father
Buried deep under the water
You're resting on your laurels
And stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyways?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground. (x2)

| rashad (Melbourne, Australia) | Posted: Apr 07, 2012 - 16:21 Mixed feelings about this band - like the concept, the music etc - but the sameness of the voice and vocals starts to grate on my nerves after the first few spins - always end by turning it down till it's over |

They consist of Michael Angelakos (vocals, keyboards), Ian Hultquist (keyboards, guitar), Ayad Al Adhamy (synth, samples), Jeff Apruzzese (bass, keyboard) and Nate Donmoyer (drums). Passion Pit was a vocabulary word used in a class Mike took in school. It’s a slang word for a drive-in movie theatre where kids used to go to make out. where I grew up it was also a euphemism for the focal point of all teenage boys. Checked this out of my local Library this past week. Great CD that sort of flew under my radar when it came out. Very good. |

That's interesting, in that Grizzely Bear's sound, while similar in some of the same dissonant and atmospheric ways to Passion Pit, is far too disjointed and lacking in a traditional notions of pop structure. While Passion Pit is clearly drawing on 80s synth pop and, more importantly, the Flaming Lips seminal work, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots." It's almost like Grizzely Bears big hit, "Two Weeks" doesn't belong in within their catalog - it feels so catchy and out of place while I think nearly all the songs on "Manners" feel approachable. Thanks for the comparison though, I had fun listening to new music. |
