Passion Pit

Passion Pit started in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2007 with songs Michael Angelakos wrote at Emerson College as a late Valentine’s Day present for his girlfriend; they became the Chunk of Change EP. Angelakos leads the project and writes its songs. It has released four albums: Manners (2009), Gossamer (2012), which entered the Billboard 200 at No. 4, Kindred (2015) and Tremendous Sea of Love (2017).

Michael Angelakos made Passion Pit's second album almost alone, with Nico Muhly strings, songs stacked to 157 tracks and lyrics about drink, money and his own mind.
