Passion Pit release a new single Little Secrets, taken from their highly acclaimed debut album Manners on December 14th through Columbia Records. The euphoric refrain and pulsing electronic pop of ‘Little Secrets’ has quickly become embraced as a live standout by fans, as Passion Pit continue to conquer the world show by show, town by town & dancefloor by dancefloor. Manners has already been touted as one of the most important and exhilarating debuts of the year.

2009 has already seen them support the Killers at Hyde Park Calling, sell out London’s historic Heaven venue, smash the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury to rave response, play a triumphant set at the I-tunes festival, record a mesmerizing live session for Zane Lowe on Radio 1 not to mention performances at Oxegen, T-In the Park, Latitude, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Jersey Live, Reading /Leeds & Bestival, plus extensive US & UK headline touring.

‘Manners’ : What The Papers Are Saying:

“Manners sets its makers in good stead to, essentially do what they want next, as the ‘classic’ may well be sewn up. Album of the Month. 9/10”- Clash Magazine

“Feelgood, and utterly magical. 4/5”- The Fly

“This superb debut from Michael Angelakos’s Boston band establishes a game plan – slabs of synths, dreamy Beach Boys vocals, propulsion, elation stalked by melancholy, songs that evoke a calming summer breeze – and realises it triumphantly. 4/4” –Sunday Times Culture
