Boot: Passion Pit - WXPN Free at Noon 8-15-09

I've been on a Passion Pit kick since hearing some rumblings about a new album coming out early this summer.  Here's a short set they played back in 2009 that I just rediscovered in my music catalog.  It includes stripped-down versions of 'Sleepyhead' and 'The Reeling' that give the otherwise expansive songs a very intimate feel.

New To Me: Tanlines

Although they've worked on a number of projects since 2008, Tanlines will release their debut album "Mixed Emotions" later this month.  I stumbled onto them via NPR's Exclusive First Listen and was drawn in instantaneously.  Listen to the album HERE at NPR's website until March 20th.
