Manners

Passion Pit

A maximalist explosion of neon synth-pop and sky-high falsetto. Beneath the shimmering, festival-ready hooks lies a raw, heart-on-sleeve exploration of mental instability.

May 19, 2009 · Frenchkiss Records

A frantic, neon-colored explosion of joy that barely conceals a deep, underlying sense of anxiety and vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For
the explosive entry of the PS22 Chorus on Little Secrets that turns personal turmoil into a communal anthem
the pitch-shifted vocal sample in Sleepyhead that feels like a glitching transmission from a childhood dream
the transition from the tense verses to the soaring, desperate disco-inflected chorus of The Reeling
