video: passion pit- “to kingdom come”

This retro flavored video for “To Kingdom Come” combines stop-motion film and animation to take viewers on a trip back to Victorian days. It would be a little foolish of me to say this is one of my favorite tracks from Manners, as I’ve been ranting about how much I love many of these tracks for months, but I’m going to go ahead and say it anyways.

The only thing helping me get through the summer heat lately has been iced coffee and listening to Manners in my car with the AC up high. It’s a record that I find myself singing along to relentlessly, luckily with no one else in the car to be subjected to it.

“Little Secrets” is the track off the record I find myself going back to most often. It’s a disco-inspired track with a chorus to die for that makes you want to dance from the second it kicks in. So, a perfect remix for a track like this would keep the spirit of the original in tact and amp up the funk to a whole new level.

Luckily that’s exactly what was done on this Internals Friends Complain remix. Along with taking a few cut up vocal samples from the song and layering them in perfect fashion. This gives the song a perfect opportunity to make the jump from the car speakers to the club.

mp3: the reeling remixes

Passion Pit’s debut album Manners was released yesterday and so begins the band taking over the world. The first single from the album is called “The Reeling” and has been impossible to get out of my head since the first time I heard it. The remixes of the track are starting to break out, and here’s two of the better ones I’ve been able to find so far.

The Calvin Harris remix is brilliantly understated. I’m really glad he didn’t go the typical electro route and amp up the distortion, but that’s all part of why Mr. Harris continues to stay a step ahead of the remix game. The Burns remix is on the housier tip and would make a great opener for a summer mix.

We brought you the first single from Passion Pit’s forthcoming album Manners a few weeks back. Well, now we’re proud to give you the video for the track as well. “The Reeling” is damn near impossible to get out of your head after hearing it, and the video compliments the song very well. I’ve said it before, but this band is going to do big things this year. Look for the album to be released May 19th on Frenchkiss Records.
