The popular indie band Passion Pit.

One of the most popular new indie albums out right now is Passion Pit's Manners. After the band's Bonnaroo performance, and helped along by positive press, YouTube videos and other social media channels, Passion Pit is on the crest of a wave in popularity.

Also included in today's Monday Music Mix is a new demo from mystic rock band The Ravonettes, plus select picks off new albums by London's wildly popular alt pop band Fanfarlo (get their new album for $1 until July 4), Chicago's new and alluring experimental indie pop band A Lull, and more from Idles of Space, Lost Into The Trees and Pretty Balanced.

"Moth's Wings" - Passion Pit from Manners

"Last Dance" (demo) - The Raveonettes, demo only

"Luna" - Fanfarlo from Reservior

"Skinny Fingers" - A Lull from Ice Cream Bones

"Black Ice" - Ohbijou from Beacon

"Past Midnight" - Idles of Space from Sleeping Fractures

"Fireplace" - Lost In The Trees from All Alone in An Empty House

"Prosthetic Face Mixdown" - Pretty Balanced from Scarlet Starlet

passion pit's new cd manners is quite the disappointment. the first song "make light" is almost unbearable to listen to. lead singer, michael angelakos abuses his falsetto privileges. i'm sorry i just feel like this band is selling out.

I wouldnt say unbearable at all. They still for sure have potential. I like it.

I was listening to the album this weekend while I was listening to this band called Malbec. They are pretty legit. Check them out www.malbectheband.com and download their EP (for free)..maybe you will like them as much as i do!?

If you don't like the first track on Passion Pit's Manners then just stop there, PP is not for you. I for one enjoy Passion Pit in all their glory. I have enjoyed Passion Pit since their EP Chunk of Change and I get the same if not more enjoyment from Manners.
