The Boston, MA-based Passion Pit began as a one-man project of singer and songwriter Michael Angelakos to produce a Valentine's Day gift for his girlfriend. The gift, an EP entitled Chunk of Change, soon wound up in the hands of friends and acquaintances, who were enthralled with the work. Eventually, Passion Pit became not only a vehicle for the romantic expressions of Angelakos' heart but a full-fledged band -- at least for live gigs -- and opened for a number of well-known artists including Death Cab for Cutie. This momentum led to label interest, and in 2008 the Frenchkiss label picked up Chunk of Change for re-release with the addition of two bonus tracks. The EP, and especially the track "Sleepyhead", garned alot of attention from bloggers and fans of giddy electronic indie pop. Columbia Records also liked what they heard and paired with French Kiss to release the group's (which now consisted of Angelakos, Nathan Donmoyer,Ian Hultquist, Ayad Al Adhamy and Jeff Apruzzese) first album Manners in spring of 2009. ~ Chris True & Tim Sendra, All Music GuideMore
