np: "Sleepyhead" - Passion Pit
Okay, this song is a little old now, but it just snuck up on me this afternoon and revealed itself as one hell of a great little tune. I found Manners, the debut full-length by Boston's Passion Pit, to be fairly spotty on initial listen. It seemed like the type of bedroom synth-pop being done by lots of other bands in more exciting ways. Spinning it again after some time off I'm finding it a little stronger, none as much as this particular track. Swirling, joyous, and whimsical - a hard combination to pull off without sounding too twee, Passion Pit nails it though. A great beat and a solid hook, but its the tinny chipmunk thing winding throughout that seals the deal for me.
