On July 24th, Columbia Records will release Gossamer, the highly anticipated follow-up to Passion Pit’s critically acclaimed 2009 debut album Manners. The album will be comprised of 12 new tracks that showcase Michael Angelakos’ ever-expanding lyrical talents and bring to life his trademark irresistible beats (see full track listing below). Gossamer was made throughout 2011 in Los Angeles and New York City, and again finds Angelakos working with Manners producer Chris Zane. The Boston Herald raves that with “a stunning new album…Passion Pit is about to outgrow the electro fad. The album is an artistic breakthrough — pure pop hasn’t had this much depth since Prince’s golden age — and it’s bound to be a commercial one as well.”
Well, that’s it folks, the Boston Herald has spoken, this one’s gonna be a smash. If you’d to judge for yourself, you can listen to a new track that Pitchfork premiered today off of Gossamer entitled “Constant Conversations.” But wait, there’s more, in addition to their already scheduled tour dates, the band has also just announced a special “record release” gig at the Apollo Theatre on July 23, tickets for that show go on Amex presale on Jul 11 at noon, regular on sale begins on Jul 13 at noon.
