Passion Pit

I don't really know how many bands are trying to sound like Animal Collective, but Passion Pitt works for me. It's pleasant mix of pop hooks and indie rock. Their debut album Manners is set to release in a few days, it's full of corny riffs, but extremely happy bits of pop.

Track Highlights include "The Reeling" where they took advantage of the PS 22 children's choir for the chorus. It's beautiful and dancable.
