Passion Pit is not shy about admitting the simplicity of its success. Rather than taking a preaching tone and explaining how hard they worked to come up with such a unique sound, Passion Pit’s drummer Nate simply states that everything came together perfectly without any real type of difficulty or stress. This effortlessness could help make sense of Passion Pit’s multi-layered genius. Still a young band, Passion Pit formed in 2007 when Michael Angelakos became aware that his solo project would be a hell of a lot more interesting with a band. Lucky for Michael, he was able to recruit some brilliant musicians to fill his void, and together the band started gaining buzz from BBC, CMJ, MTV, and many more.
