Track of the Week: Passion Pit's "Sleepy Head"

A lot can be written about these guys, and it already has, as their sound seems to lend itself to comparisons with every other "synth-rock" act that's out there. Pitchfork basically likens Manners to the album that would have existed if MGMT's Oracular Spectacular hadn't filled in the gaps between hit tracks with worthless material. I don't know if I agree with any of that statement (including the jab at Oracular); they remind me more of Black Kids, other than the fact that they managed to make a spectacular LP after a super-buzzed-about EP. Bottom line: pretty much every song on this album is single-worthy, and if you like "Sleepy Head", you're probably going to dig all 45 minutes of Manners:
