Like much of the music I've been rabidly obsessed with over the past several months, I first discovered Passion Pit while working at The Tripwire, when I did a little news blurb on their recording session with the famous choral kiddos at Staten Island's PS22 Choir.Fast forward a few months to present day and that recording session -- for the songs "Little Secrets" and "The Reeling" -- produced two of the many Passion Pit songs I cannot get out of my head or stop rotating on my iPod.
The music itself is hard to categorize, which perhaps makes me like it even more. It's synth, it's lyrical, it's pop, it's indie, there's a lot happening. But my favorite thing about it right now, at this particular moment in my life, is that it makes me feel good. These are my feel-good jams, August 2009. Topping the feel-good list are the aforementioned "Little Secrets" and another tune called "Better Things" which I cannot help but groove to, no matter where I am when it comes up on shuffle. Enjoy. (Oh, and -- you can check out the video of the guys in the studio with the PS22 gang here.)
