Passion Pit – The Reeling

• 11th May 2009

Bristling with a sound snatched largely and unabashedly from the 80s, electro up-and-comers Passion Pit’s latest single “The Reeling” looks set to buy them time on dancefloors across the country this summer. It kicks right in with a joyously kinetic synth line, then enter the luscious vocals, shooting out layered, high-pitched melodies. The chorus is irresistibly euphoric and likely to spur compulsive jerky movements from the most uptight of listeners.

2009 could be a good year for Passion Pit, who have worked up a lot interest in a short timespan with their exciting brand of electro. This single bodes well for much-hyped debut album Manners, out later this month.
