I heard they're being called the "new MGMT." I find this a bit ridiculous considering didn't MGMT really only get big last year? And that's here in LA...which means they're probably just now reaching the masses in mid America.
That aside, the way they got their start is actually pretty cool. Michael Angelakos originally created the Chunk of Change EP as a Valentine’s Day gift for his girlfriend, which then somehow spread throughout his college campus (that being Emerson College in Boston), and next thing you know, Manners (Passion Pit’s first full-length) was one of the most anticipated releases of 2009.
Now that is a Valentine's Day present. Fellas take note.
