passion pit // gossamer (npr’s first listen)

Are you jonsing for a taste of Passion Pit‘s new album Gossamer? Well, NPR’s First Listen is here to supply to you what you need. You can stream Gossamer in its entirety at NPR First Listen then leave a comment. After listening to the entire album I am so enamored with the R&B soaked “Constant Conversations” and it is definitely going on my seduction playlist. Also, after the jump I have track, “I’ll Be Alright” and the “Take A Walk” (Gold Fields Remix). Check for the official album release July 24th. You may also want to check out this great story about Passion Pit’s frontman Michael Angelakos on Pitchfork, its a good read. Peace.

Bright Moments // Natives (Our Sunday Best)

Kelly Pratt is Bright Moments and vice versa. And although you may or may not have heard of him by name, you more than likely have come in contact with him sonically just the same. For instance, Arcade Fire, Beirut, and yes, even LCD Soundsystem. One and all of these bands have utilized K. Pratt’s most excellent talents. He’s there adding touches of gold whilst playing flugelhorn, trumpet, as well as a host of other instrumentation. With his album Natives he’s lovingly assembled a batch of modest songs, and presents them with such tenderness and a clear nights sky worth of sparkling starlit beauty. My favorite of the bunch being the incredible gorgeous “Traveling Light.” But you really have to experience the album for yourself, so head on over to www.luakabop.com and stream the Native LP. But, the fun doesn’t stop there, you can get a FREE DOWNLOAD of the Bright Moment’s track “Tourists” (Shuttle Remix) by Nate Donmoyer of Passion Pit. Peace.
