Just wondering if anyone has heard these guys. They do a really good job of blending all of their sounds. Really good lyrics and a great drummer to back up the digital sounds.

If not this is probably their more prominent songs, but they have a really good sound

*edit*
I should also state I have a large interest in all sorts of music and this isn't the most guitar heavy band -

My friend gave me that song. First heard a clip of it on Current Tv's commercials last summer, then later on in the Droid commercials. Lovely song, I'd check them out but I haven't really bothered to look.

I've heard good things about these guys, but the one song of theirs I should apparently seriously worship (Sleepyhead - pretty much the Skins fandom's official Naomily song) didn't quite grab me. Something about the vocals threw me off - I should probably have a look for some of their other stuff.

Edit: Didn't realise that was the song you linked to - that Youtube video is blocked in the UK.

Haha, I think the song works so good in that commercial. Like it makes it sound like it's a better song than it is >.>'

Not a terrible song at all though.. Just never been one of my favorites from them or anything like that. They're a solid group though. One of my first choices when I'm feeling like up uplifting synth pop =D

Manners was one of the best albums this year.

Passion Pit is getting pretty big in the indie scene. I think Manners was in Pitchfork's Top 50 albums of 09. The Reeling is a great song, as well as Little Secrets.

I've Got Your Number and Little Secrets are much better than Sleepyhead but still an awesome song by an awesome band. I hope I get to see these guys soon.

I've found them to be a pretty uplifting, catchy band that's just easy to listen to. I saw them at the Big Day Out in Sydney yesterday and I thought they'd be rubbish live (they sound a bit 'produced') but they were quite amazing, definitely one of the better acts I saw.

I really dig the album as a whole but I do listen to Little Secrets and Moth's Wings a lot more than any other song. I just posted Sleepyhead because it's their most "mainstream" song. Anyways on that note I find certain My Morning Jacket songs that give me the same feel as this song. If you haven't checked them out go for it - they are more guitar heavy and blues/funk/"muppet" (lol) influenced.

So, funny story; I was in HMV today looking for my uncle's birthday present (a Pink album), which turned out to be included in their 2 CDs For £10 promotion thing. And Manners happened to be in the same deal.

Yeah.

I was right; The Reeling is awesome. Moth's Wings was bloody good too, and I like the half of Seaweed Song that's playing as I type. And for all the hype and Naomily goodness and everything... Sleepyhead is probably my least favourite track on the album.
