The ongoing rants of one man out to introduce the world to the tunes that inhabit the space inside of that region known as his mind a collection of the songs that have shaped his day, his Song of the Day.
So next week the top 20 begins but
before then I'd like to take note that the last track to just miss
the but Lifted Up(1985) proved that Passion Pit has really crafted a
very sugary sweet pop number that most certainly left us all wanting
to move this year and while it's not his best it's till keeping in
this string of quality singles that he's been doing over the past few
years.
So I’ll be the first to admit that Passion Pit is spotty at
best for me because while they’re responsible for some delightfully catchy
electro pop numbers the vocals can severely drag and only a couple of songs
really seemed to have managed to just kind of stick with me as something I can
still stand to listen to and this song and it’s oddly well represented year is
one of those tunes that for some reason or another is just to fucking good for
what it is.
So this in all honesty is the most synth poppy 80’s new wave
sounding track I’ve possibly heard from this band and in all honesty it kind of
makes me wonder why they just didn’t take to making pop records any sooner
because this songs sugary sweet beats along with a chorus that just demands
everyone jump along to just screams the best movie trailer, summertime radio
anthem, or hell just a great tune to play in between sets or at bars because
it’s just damn fun music in every way.
Although i have to ask in regards to the video who in the hell would ever mosh at a passion pit show?
That cool indie band that sounds like a Zooey Deschanel film
in every song is back and with what’s actually quite a delightful little cut in
the form of a music video that’s fooling all of its listeners into watching a
romantic comedy while listening to the best song you’ll hear on every
television promo this year….
