Boston electro-pop upstarts Passion Pit have a busy few weeks ahead of them. Fresh off the release of their Frenchkiss debut Chunk of Change, and having just finished five frenzied-filled sold out shows at CMJ 2008, and west coast tour, the bands debut video for “Sleepyhead” will be premiering on MTV 2 Subterranean. T
he band also debuted the video for “Sleepyhead” on Pitchfork. As the write-up so accurately put it, “this beautiful video, directed by The Wilderness, matches the song's collage-like construction, taking individual elements —a singer, handclaps, keyboards — and fusing them to rotating mechanical parts. With its absence of computer tricks — those are actual printed photos of Michael Angelakos' face on that cube — the video captures the song's rough, handmade charm.”
What’s more, the band recently swung through AOL Spinner’s NYC studios with a performance of Chunk of Change standouts for Spinner’s Interface. Check out the new clip for “Sleepyhead” and the AOL performances below.
DJ Dynamos, Fingers On the Pulse are happy to announce a very special night with Passion Pit : “We have watched these guys explode in the last couple months and we are happy to party with them for their last NYC show of the year.
